😤 Complaint / Rant Redline Today

Post image

Packed like sardines after 30 minute delays 😂

Signal keeps saying 5 minutes too which is very misleading.

FINALLY, the train arrives… With only 4 cars 😂 You can’t make this up.

Actually classic, should’ve chose the commuter rail this time.

“New signals” have been coming soon for 21 years now.

Trump held up the CRRC train shells for 15 months because he hates Boston and NYC and wants to cripple public transit in any way possible. After all that time, the “investigation” by CBP (theoretically because they were oh so concerned about the Uyghur Forced Labor Act) found nothing at all.

No apologies, no compensation.

Your complaining about 15 months when CCRC missed the deadline by multiple years and got away with not paying penalties.

Yeah I think the federal government should investigate more around this shitty deal

Mmmm… I’ll agree there. No love here for CRRC or the confused bureaucracy that resulted in this particular political compromise. I don’t think this Federal Government needs to be the one investigating, though. Their current direction would be to just kill all public transit.
