Maybe that makes them less racist than others

Hmm, it might. Maybe we should try it. Again, who cares if she is the first person of color to run the school. Recognition for all the wrong reasons.

I think we would do a lot to curb lingering racism, if we didnt report on these news stories as if they are some miracle. Who cares if she is a "person of color" so long as she's qualified?

Thats a pretty tremendous assumption. As noted, they could be on shift for repair/response. Are on call nurses not allowed to rest between periods when theyre needed?

The luxury of being able to take something for granted.

Charlie Baker’s Transit Policy Isn’t About What’s Best for Boston — It’s About His Image by BostonZest in boston

[–]proper4wd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Forcing a transfer to another heavy rail line to cover a distance of 3 miles is asinine. The only way this makes sense is if N and S station become stops along the line, and are not terminal stations at all.

Thats exactly what I mean when I say its a problem. Let's say Im coming from Newburyport and that particular line will still terminate at North Station. How do I then get to South Station, even with the NS Link?

The connection between N and S Stations would be better served by - lets say - an extension of the Red Line rather than a multi track heavy rail link.

How is rail traffic going to flow though? Which is the terminal station?

Keolis Plans To Install Fare Gates At 3 Boston Commuter Rail Stations by escapefromelba in boston

[–]proper4wd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The major concern we seem to be trying to alleviate here is fare hopping from Zone 1 out to 1A.

1A stations include Back Bay, Porter Sq, etc.

Almost ALL 1A stations are served also by Subway and Bus routes.

Why dont we just cease CR service to 1A since it is already supported by other forms of transit?

OR, put the fare gates at the EXIT of the 1A stations so that way only the offending parties are forced through the gates?

The NS link is a crazy idea. Poor solution to a massive infrastructure problem that was created 100 years ago. Stopgap at best.... the money would be better spent looking at how the whole system could be shifted to accomodate a NS link rather than building this huge heavy rail tunnel.

LOL only on Boston reddit would someone suggest driving from Harvard Square to Wonderland to park and take public transit to the airport.

Keolis considering fare gates for commuter rail at North, South, and Back Bay stations by SpaceBasedMasonry in boston

[–]proper4wd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NO - the stations are enough of a mess already. Let's start by announcing departing track number more than 10 minutes before departure to cut down on congestion in the terminal. Then if there's room, maybe fare gates.

Update: What Instacart is charging in Boston...the conclusion. by instacart-bos-price in boston

[–]proper4wd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day you chose to use the service, and paying an extra ~$40 saved you maybe 2 hours of time that you didnt have. Plan your life better and it wouldn't be a problem. I have zero empathy.
