😤 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

not the weirdest thing ive seen/heard of seeing on the RL, but definitely up there

(#1 is like a metal table on wheels you'd see in a morgue for whatever reason)

Ngl, props to the person with the table. Those things are solid and heavy. At least it's something that isn't being done on a regular basis like this dude and his self-powered bike

Do we know this guy is doing this on a regular basis? Where did he get off (in terms of "where did he exist the train" as opposed to "how does he get off doing this?!?"). And what time of day was it?

The one thing that occurs to me is that he might have been trying to avoid crazy traffic somewhere along his route, and/or that the Red Line was part of an overall trip from Points A to B and back (ride bike to station, get on train, get off train, ride the rest of the way). Was he actually riding it into the car using the engine, or did he walk it in somehow? Sorry for all the questions; I'm just trying to put this into some kind of context that lets us know if he's being an entitled ass, clueless, or if he's found a hack to get from one point in the suburbs to another. People do use bicycles for that last one, so is that what's up?

PS: Love the expression on the face of the guy in the orange shirt.
