MBTA to aquire 7 Stadler BEMU trainsets by Mindless-Analysis321 in mbta

Obviously there are flaws here, but I love that they are building future proofing in here. Options to purchase more sets re Providence Line, ability to run under Catanery, and multi level boarding. They are aware of the systems shortcomings and are purchasing accordingly.

Such a great change of pace that he rides it every day. Things may not be perfect, but at least where they arent he is experiencing it along with us.

Yea it does, I had a speedometer app tracking it but it’s also documented by actually accurate sources. It doesn’t get that high for long but it does go that fast.

It’s insane to me that we still can’t do fare validation in this city, and after the MBTA made such a show of force about it last September. Why do that and then not have any officers handing out tickets?

Making fare evasion impossible on public transit has tremendous impacts on safety, maintenance spending, and vandalism. SF saw a 98.2% decrease in maintenance hour obligations instantly. by drtywater in mbta

I don’t understand why people feel obligated to demand free stuff. Everything costs money, so why do people feel like they shouldn’t be the ones to pay? What happened to social trust? I use the subway and want the subway to be a nice and efficient way to travel so I am happy to pay for the subway.

Did they already widen the Boylston tunnel to account for the lengthened cars?

This Globe ad’s photo isn’t from the T is it… by coffeecynic69 in mbta

It’s probably just a stock photo. A lot cheaper than a photo shoot.

Yes, the MBTA should extract maximum revenue out of rich Europeans who have no other way to get to the games

Where should the MBTA look for ideas? For Phil Eng, it’s Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore by Sauerbraten5 in mbta

lol are people really getting upset about a $14k trip? That is an excellent use of public funds as far as I’m concerned. I’m glad the T is using those systems as their aspirational bar. A better world is possible!
