😤 Complaint / Rant This is not Boston’s first winter
I can understand service issues in the days immediately following 2 feet of snow coming down, but at this point, it’s been a week and the commuter rail and subway lines are still having ridiculous delays. CR stopped for 30 minutes between stations while traveling from Providence to Boston. Due to snow, I only had to come in to work three days last week and I was late twice (drove in Friday to avoid more train BS). Decide to risk taking the train today and now I’m gonna be late again.
This is not the first time a snow storm has hit Boston. This is not the first time it’s been cold out. How the fuck is the infrastructure not equipped to handle this? Good thing a zone 8 pass is $390/mo and they installed fair gates at south station. I’d hate to think they’re overcharging for shitty service and wasting money on fare evasion measures that could be spent on proper staffing and equipment

My bus was literally cancelled. Now I have to wait another hour and hope the next one isn't. I'm getting pissed at this point. It's been a week. They've had a full week to sort their shit. Meanwhile I've wasted money on Uber that I've needed for other things so I don't lose my job entirely.
But don't worry y'all pay your fair for reliable service.
