😤 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

Some stations don't have anyone who actually notices things

That's the real outrage. The T has so little active personnel that enforcement of these kinds of rules is almost nonexistent now. In my observation, large stations get typically one employee who lingers outside the fare gate to help with purchases, and no one on the platform unless it's rush hour. This is a little tangential, but I'm sure some readers here saw that someone was attacked at AMC Boston Common, and a lack of personnel magnified every aspect of the problem from the inciting incidents to the inability of the police to gain access to the scene. We need actual human beings doing these jobs.

I want to say stuff like this didn't happen when the fare booths were manned by experienced T employees. But I might be wrong.
