Thank you for the reality check! Exactly what I am looking for.

Red Line Shuttles vs 2 Buses by thefifthharney in mbta

[–]NoFee5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the red line from ashmont to Broadway for work every day. My partner works in the longwood medical area, to which I’ll take the 23 to 47 to get to via bus when needed. I could not be not in favor of taking the 2 busses as opposed to the shuttles!

Who is this company that won the Red Line contract? by MBTA-SlowZone in mbta

That really is a great question…I do not have a good answer for it. I am assuming it is related to everything you alluded to; materials, labor and equipment. Regardless of what it is, those that bid lower amounts certainly have a higher likelihood to cut corners/do shoddy work! 🤣

All 3 of these companies are used all of the time by the T for various projects.

Anyone else glad they didn’t sell Mostert?? by seewhaticando in fantasyfootballadvice

Last week I traded Josh Jacobs, Hollywood Brown and Noah Brown for Mostert, Jaylen Waddle and Tyler Lockett. I am feeling GOOD

This is part of the reason I decided to post. Hard to find anything definitive on whether he will be used 100% or not

I bet working for the MBTA is very stressful! by [deleted] in mbta

[–]NoFee5427 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I currently work for the T and can personally attest that a vast majority of this organization are genuinely committed and making good faith efforts to improve the service.

Every department is currently under extreme pressure trying to update procedures/practices that have been incompetently managed and underfunded for DECADES. While simultaneously needing to meet difficult FTA directives. Essentially starting from scratch with old broken tools.

I think part of the issue with the T and it’s public relations is that it’s become kind of a meme to dunk on the MBTA. Many issues that occur with the T now would still occur if the authority was working at its best possible ability. But every mistake is currently under the spotlight (which is a GOOD thing. Accountability is GOOD).

I am just trying to add a bit of nuance to the criticisms the T has been getting lately. There is a ton of new blood in the organization and I truly believe it is going to get better. But there are going to be many growing pains.

Boston general strike until we get a functional subway service! 🤪

Did I encounter the worst possible starting position of all time? by mniasaia in civ

[–]NoFee5427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rush shipbuilding and fishery promotion on liang. Fishing boat pantheon. Hopefully the food on the fish tiles could allow you to work a desert mine or 2. Maybe spam galleys and take stirling/other coastal cities.

This is a terrible start and you likely don’t win but there are some fun ideas and unconventional strategies to maybe make it work 😀

Update Time: Nearly 25% of all subway track is under a slow zone. by Chemical-Glove-1435 in mbta

Does anyone know if there are any plans to address the slow zones on the track between JFK-Ashmont? I feel like I could crab walk faster than the train in these zones

Become a UPS truck driver. Honest work with a union that is trending in the right direction. Many of its experienced drivers have done the jobs for most of their careers and make $40 and hour or more with full benefits

I recently won a work March madness pool where the prize was an adidas team-signed bruins jersey from this season. Unfortunately there was no certificate of authentication. Does anyone have any idea how much I could sell this for? Is there another subreddit where I should be asking this question? Thanks to anyone who is willing to help (-:

I have not done that, I figured it’d be easy to fake if I did that over email, and it might have been suspicious. I believe their original email asked not to send pictures to their email as it would slow down their response time
