Reply to Should I sell my car? by upstonksonly

I will echo a few comments here and what I have told colleagues who have moved from out of the region to the Boston area - if you are not going to be driving back to where you came from or to see family, I’d suggest no car. The T is bad right now, but you can bike or walk most places in the city. The T takes you right to the airport (in my experience the blue line is the best line of the T). It alleviates the headache. If you really need a car you can rent one for far less than the cost of parking your car. The only reason I have mine is I have family who live in New England that is not very accessible by Bus/Train.

Reply to Seeking anticapitalist tattoo artist by [deleted]

what do you think is going to happen if they don't sufficiently meet your progressive standards?

"Oh no! My tattoo artist voted for Hillary over Bernie! Now I need to post an apology essay on Instagram!"

Those are the only places where it's legally required but there are still a few businesses that have chosen to enforce their own mask policies. Some shows are requiring masks if the artist requests, and the recent PAX East convention had a mask requirement. For any big show or event it's a good idea to check their policies online before going.

Reply to Finally found it! by Verizian

When I went to PAX East last friday I noticed this exact graffiti drawn the same way in exactly 3 different locations along the Red Line and Silver Line

I'm still masking everywhere. I got careless and caught covid last May, so mild I thought it was allergies. Three weeks later I couldn't get out of bed, and I'm still dealing with long covid. Don't be me.

(let the downvoting begin! I'm not trying to harsh anybody's "pandemic is over" buzz, but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.)

I feel like somebody needs to create a MBTAsux Reddit so we can move these posts over there.

I get it - the T blows. But it feels like every day for like a year there's another uninteresting picture posted just like this one.

Some cities have live tracking with the countdown clocks or on their transit app, but even with that, there are issues with trains and busses still not showing up or disappearing off the route entirely. Not sure if MBTA has real time countdown clocks though. I would assume it does not.
