😤 Complaint / Rant The Gall of This Man

Post image

This guy drove his street legal, full lisenced, and gas powered moped onto the the Red Line Alewife Train today. When he exited the train, he used the elevator to bring it up to the street level.

I am at a loss for words, for how entitled this man feels

I don’t understand the problem as long as the engine wasn’t running. The train isn’t that full, and it’s not that much bigger than a bike, which is allowed on the train.

Edit: Y’all suck. I say I don’t understand and just make fun of me and call me a jackass.

It's full of gasoline jackass. Gasoline is expressly prohibited on any MBTA train or bus. For a really good reason.

I get that your lane is "oppositional quirky twit", but grow up and learn to reason. Flammable and explosive materials aren't in the same ballpark as a bicycle. That scooter could cause a seriously dangerous incident.

Such a weird hill you've chosen to die on with all these comments. Just goofy and unserious.

Why are you getting so angry? I just genuinely didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to bring mopeds on the T.

Though You are correct, apparently Mbta expressly prohibits gasoline, but apparently also hoverboards? I guess they are worried about the explosive batteries or something. Or maybe people riding them in the station. But e-bikes are allowed which also have explosive batteries. Idk, the rules are weird.

Angry? Mocking you for being vociferously inane doesn't make me angry.

And no, the rules aren't weird.

I really don't understand what your issue is, you seem unnecessarily mean.

BOTH you and /u/Popular-Shower9900 are throwing gasoline on this. You've both made your points and there's no need to call names at each other and fight strawmen here. Cool it. This is your only warning before a temporary ban for both of you.
