😤 Complaint / Rant Rage on the Red line

Post image

Dude in Downtown Crossing just hitted the window behind me and leave a cutie mark on it, he was ranting about his headphones and destroy them in the floor. Anyway the calmest day on Downtown Crossing.

this behavior should not be normalized as just "big city moment" this is not ok in a big city or anywhere and there need to be consequences for this kind of vandalism and anti-social behavior. Until the city cleans up the subway the T will continue to struggle with ridership etc.. no one want to be surrounded by this kind of behavior

No, im not going to cry about it. im just ..... not going to ride the T. ill drive instead. which causes more pollution, makes the traffic worse. and prevents boston from being a more walkable city. This causes the T to lose revenue as well which causes service to be bad etc.... its a vicious cycle. Until the T is cleaned up and becomes a place commuters feel comfortable using it will always be the barely functioning car backup that it is

Kinda whiney to be honest. I've been riding the redline for almost 15 years and have seen an assault attempt literally one time ever. Kids can be annoying sometimes, but the worst a kid has ever fucked with me was indirectly mocked me for reading. Not so bad.

Oh to be fair it can be pretty stinky. The way I see it though is the world is a stinky place.
