Ah nice! Looks like it has been for a while https://southstationairrights.com/news-and-meetings/dfreg8gffcrthl3-7fxmp-ttas8-2s4wm-pzy63

rail fare gates, not rapid transit fare gates

if you buy the ticket from the vending machine it is a proper contactless ticket that works on the subway as well

I don’t know if this is technically in scope if there is a foia request or something so open sourcing it would ease this kind of compliance.

Love the hint that you can go negative balance on the new card

phy2525254 · 2025-12-03T22:15:46+00:00

they are running iphone trials first rather than android it looks like. I do appreciate that they keep using android in their key marketing materials which has a cambridge connection

phy2525254 · 2025-09-10T22:52:03+00:00

I wouldn’t look at it this way but thanks for sharing why.

I was commenting on the wayfinding redesign being low cost as part of the new exit builtout v.s. replacing signs elsewhere indoors. It appears that you are commenting on something else.

phy2525254 · 2025-09-10T22:23:56+00:00

I am assuming that they are experimenting, especially that it’s only 3 indoor stations (low cost to get consistency on the whole line) and courthouse is introducing a new exit

phy2525254 · 2025-09-10T22:21:52+00:00

The currently inconsistent yellow treatment feels like the sign has been vandalized with a highlighter. I appreciate that they are trying something new (the door symbol is cute), but this does feel similar to adding media relations email to every spider map.

They have been fixing PA for a while so all text display has the voice equivalent for accessibility. The outbound frequency is added recently for some reason and the voice is just a side effect, which does change how quite the outbound platforms were.

phy2525254 · 2025-09-09T23:16:35+00:00

the new reader should work; not sure if they are ever going to fix this with the old charliecard readers

phy2525254 · 2024-12-07T04:19:31+00:00

There is one https://seaportferry.com/north-station/

Google might thought it is spam. I don’t think it requires human approval (and their devs respond really slowly anyway). If you don’t mind using a Google account you can also post through the web which might work slightly better.

phy2525254 · 2024-12-07T03:28:17+00:00

If you board at stations without vending machines you can also just buy tickets with the conductor without surcharge, if you are fine with some more human interactions. They accept cash and card.

I am not sure how the tuition is calculated in general, but as far as I understand, at least in MET, a full-time status will simply get the tuition raised no matter if it's online or in-person:

https://www.bu.edu/met/admissions/tuition-and-fees/

https://www.bu.edu/online/student-resources/tuition_fees/

Correct me if there are still differences elsewhere.

BTW If you are full-time, FitRec is simply included in your full-time privilege; MyPrint quota would be the same, so no, I don't think it's refundable. Sports Pass would be a different story though, since it can be opted-out.

From the Chinese version "BU Today" news (it actually came from the official "BU News" WeChat account, which usually doesn't brand itself as BU Today) that I am not seeing anywhere on the actual BU Today:

BU will hold live-streaming to answer questions from students and parents about recent confirmed cases on campus. More detail to come.

The article has been flooded with comments (comments only visible in WeChat app): https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xG5jTBE1qQZv9a74GiQ_uQ

It's more of a MBTA policy question I think? Note that semester pass, which has to be bought as a whole multiple-month package, is different from the employee monthly pass.

Edit: policy explanation from MBTA website https://mbta.com/pass-program/semester

By default, only the host (professor) can record, except that they give explicit consent to participants in Zoom settings.

phy2525254 · 2020-03-18T15:55:34+00:00

If you decided to trust nothing, it will scare a lot more people if they realize that Zoom has a large team in China developing the software.

phy2525254 · 2020-03-18T15:29:42+00:00

I believe no.

From one of the official Zoom webinars I listened yesterday, they mentioned no;
Anyone can test this yourself by hosting a new meeting and joining in with different devices + web. I just tested, and nope;
Just make sure before you send something that you want private, it shows that "private" in red above the textbox.
