  • Theres not an app for that


    Massachusetts LiberalAuthority Authority: 532
    Excuse me, but why do I want to pay $3.99 to tell me the train or bus is delayed ? I already know that. And forgive me for being cynical about the ability to accurately predict when it will show up. And how, exactly, will it work in the subway without wireless access? Until the T deals with buses and trolleys ...

    I never seem to be at MBTA stops when crazy stuff happens. Just last Friday, an MBTA train nearly ran over a drunk woman who fell off the platform …but thanks to people on the platform alerting the driver of the train, the drunk woman walked stumbled away. Video of the event can be seen here. I’m not here ...

  • North Shirtwaist Station?


    limeduckAuthority Authority: 415
    I tried to exit North Station this morning and found two of the doors padlocked from the outside.  Not that it would have mattered if they were padlocked from the inside. Vandalism or overzealous security, it’s hard to say.  7:30 is not exactly the wee hours of the morning for commuting.  In the rare (ok, not ...
