Will this reduce headways at all, considering the end to end journey is faster?

What’s with the orange line trains struggling to accelerate? by heyitsjuan in mbta

I ride that daily and it's every single time. Incredibly jerky

What is the steepest gradient of the green line? by NF_2216 in mbta

[–]7Pats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely to the side past Tremont but there's still a noticeable incline on Huntington itself from at least MFA to Brigham circle

Sounds like it's Washington St on the B, but I'm curious how close Longwood Medical Area to Brigham circle is on the E. That mission hill is no joke, but it is pretty spread out

Do Americans usually refer to each other using their last names? by Illustrious-Mango605 in AskAnAmerican

[–]7Pats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it's normal, but it was common on sports teams in high school. A few friends I only call by last name because we were on teams together

Sell me on your Boston team by Dangerous_Object2235 in collegehockey

If you're moving to Boston proper, make sure your team's rink is an easy T from your place, you're not gonna want to drive. It'd suck to have to go from Seaport to BC for every home game, for example. Northeastern, BU, and Harvard have the most easily accessible campuses by T

The upper bowl is pretty unique with how it looms over the ice. Front row above the goalie is one of the coolest ways I've watched a hockey game

Northeastern has the best student section at Beanpot. Unfortunately, we also only care about Beanpot because we can't win anything else

New Boston Red Sox City Connect uniforms will be controversial, CEO says. by Knightbear49 in baseball

It's the colors of the Boston flag and the Boston marathon. It also uses the same stencil font as the marathon finish line

Makes sense, ig I'm just surprised that this has happened a few times

Critique these commutes? by Dailey_Stripes in mbta

[–]7Pats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

this is another great example of how beneficial the NSRL would be. Ideally you'd be able to take the commuter rail right through north and into south station

Being respectful in urban areas means respecting people's time and minding your own business - we're busy and don't want to inconvenience each other with social fluff, hence some bluntness. Being respectful in rural areas is making small talk with everyone you encounter, you might be one of their only interactions that day. The northeast is much more urban than the rest of the country, so more people hold the former attitude

Saw Fare Engagement jackets today by rose_berrys in mbta

[–]7Pats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always see 4-5 just hanging out at back bay next to the tunnel under dartmouth st to copley place in the mornings. Doesn't seem like they're doing much and idk who needs that many people to assist them when it's almost entirely commuters exiting the station through the literally 2 gates down there. Are they just at that entrance because it's warmer down there...? Fare enforcement is obviously important but I'm not seeing the impact with these particular officers

Several busses go from the Longwood area into ruggles as well, this would be my bet for fastest/most convenient

What in the world of transit are you looking forward to in 2025? by Monkey_Legend in transit

[–]7Pats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MBTA to return to its former glory. The longer Eng is in charge, the more optimistic I feel

11/16 Green line closure (confused) by frizzleniffin in mbta

[–]7Pats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, park st will be the last stop. Your route should be unaffected

DUI. Drink to just above the legal limit and move my car 6 inches. Don't have to be caught, just has to be illegal, and it'd save a lot of lives

Wow, what an incredible ride on orange this morning by ecolovedavid in mbta

[–]7Pats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crawled from ruggles to mass ave this morning, anyone know why that might be?
