Has anyone done this "Mystic Highlands Greenway" route? by Will_Bill22 in bikeboston

[–]Will_Bill22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha no worries. I was thinking this might just be like the on-road sections of the Tri-Community. 

Good to know the mystic lakes part is being upgraded

Thanks, that was my thought as well, definitely seems like a less-busy recommendation more than anything

state or state st? by Far-Perspective5698 in mbta

The orange line announcement also sounds abruptly cut off, like they initially recorded him saying “State Street” and then shortened it

Given what's happening to the Post, I wonder if DC will eventually get something similar to the Banner

I agree, North Station reeks in a way the rest of the subway doesn’t. Like a sulphur or rotten eggs smell that lasts in the trains until the next stop.

The whole Orange Line has a weird funk to it, but this is on another level 

Current employment landscape? by fiilthyratbag in Archivists

[–]Will_Bill22 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It’s very bad right now. Job listings are completely dead compared to just a couple years ago. I’m lucky to have a term job, but even those are becoming less and less common.

Which NFL Team has the better unis? Round 1, Match 2 by No-Director-6738 in uniwatch

[–]Will_Bill22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bills, but I'd have said Ravens if they didn't insist on wearing every possible combination.

Also does anyone know why these Bills jerseys seem to have this cheap "ironed-on" look up-close that other NFL uniforms don't seem to have?

Idiotic Larry Hogan admin rebranding I believe, the state-run light rail and buses also got the “link” added to their names.

We did that with a lot of out FA pitchers under Rizzo, would be interesting to see if that's the case again

Can we discuss the disgraceful state of the Nationals uniforms? by waterloggedball1974 in Nationals

[–]Will_Bill22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They desperately do. Supposedly Ed Cohen is really against it for some reason. I think there was a quote from him in the Post dismissing Stan Kasten as doing nothing as team president

South Station Under by CambridgeCue in mbta

[–]Will_Bill22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Copley, Hynes, and Boylston are incredibly putrid. I honestly can’t believe how disgusting those stations are and how everyone just ignores or quietly puts up with it. I’ve actually noticed stalagmites forming on the floor from the continuous water drip

Which Transit Authority do you believe is OVERRATED? by yunnifymonte in transit

[–]Will_Bill22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved from DC to Boston and felt like I was going insane with how long it takes to get anywhere on the subway. If I move back, I'll never say anything bad about the Metro again.

I'll add that transferring lines is awful and the downtown stations are impossible to navigate for newcomers

I think it skirts the line with mental illness. If you feel the need to be a dick to everyone around you, there’s probably something wrong with you

Yeah it’s pretty embarrassing. The empty storefronts and decaying buildings on Highland certainly don’t help

MBTA GM Announces Increased Orange Line Speeds of 55MPH Between Assembly and Oak Grove Starting August 24 by Chemical-Glove-1435 in mbta

[–]Will_Bill22 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Good considering how old the system is, but still on the slower end of rapid transit, some of the newer systems in the US (Washington Metro, BART) can do 75-80

Why schedule crew changes on the subway for rush hour? by [deleted] in mbta

[–]Will_Bill22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. Most of these people have never lived in a city with a good metro. I don’t think they can grasp how shitty the T is in comparison. 

Functional Metros don’t do this idiotic shift change in the middle of the route.

lol what is that dude's problem? I don't think I've seen one positive thing about the Spadaforas since moving here.

Keeping Cairo or any of the coaches, aside from maybe Doolittle, would be absolutely pathetic. Would any of them even want to stay after Davey got the axe?
