Reply to Transit experts say new MBTA general manager will 'fail' without more resources by ToadScoper
The biggest limitation to the T as it stands today is the inefficiency. And it won't be solved because express trains are not possible. Ever ridden the green line more than a few stops? You could walk faster.
Such a bummer.

It's too late for the T. Not enough resources will be able to solve it to everyone's satisfaction.
That said, the other issue is people are ceasing to use the T. I stopped. Just started driving again. Couldn't rely on it. Trust is lost. And it's dirty, expensive, not a nice experience.

That’s probably the plan, honestly.

you gotta be comfortable saying no and that isn't what you wanted. I rejected two drinks while my bartender was dialing it in, one because I can make it at home (aviation) and one because it was too sweet (forget what it was) and after that I had three amazing drinks I'd never had before and never would have had otherwise. Could also vary depending on your bartender I guess.

Toured recently. Decent enough place but way overpriced

This might be true in some parts of the City, but I live out in Somerville and have no issues taking the T to Logan

Makes me happy to moved to the north shore. Two bed two bath newly built apartments with heated garage parking for 2800/month that are 309 square feet larger than these comparable units. Salem and Beverly have been doing a great job building

Hard disagree on this unless you’re a finance bro who knows exactly 4 cocktails. If I tell you I want something gin-based and herbaceous don’t just give me a Last Word, I could fucking make that at home.

Charlie Baker is not Darth Vader.
The Beacon Hill House and Senate passed the bill, and the Governor signed it, transferring debt to the MBTA.
The Governor and Legislature were responsible then, and are responsible now for the financial well being of the MBTA.

It’s not faster, but it sure is better and a prettier ride. Especially if you’re biking into the city.

seems like a good chance to honor those that lost their lives, nah a rendered photo of footwear and a heart seems better.

Have you considered looking in Worcester? You don’t have to pin down your search to Boston.
Not trying to be an ass, but I assume you haven’t gauged the area well at all yet. Holden is closer to 40-45 miles outside Boston. I know you understand the commute already, but my only advice to give is looking closer to where home base is. Worcester might be a better option.
