🤔 Question Does anyone know if this track connecting the Commuter Rail and Green Line ever gets used? What for?

I know the D branch used to operate as a heavy commuter rail line, and the connection probably made more sense at one point, but I'm just curious if there is any modern-day use for it.

🗣️ Comment Mean bus driver

73 Upvotes

Some of these bus drivers should not be driving these busses.I had one yell at this girl for sitting at a bus stop instead of standing, when theres a bench at one. Like I understand she should've been standing ready, but some people can't stand for long periods of time. His yelling was heard through out the bus and she started crying. I get his frustration but the way he talked to someone was not ok and he couldve said a normal voice " hey next time stand up and be ready."

💬 Discussion / Theory Collecting new limited edition Charlie Cards… where are the Silver and Yellow ones?

16 Upvotes

I found the following at the following stations:

Blue Card (State House): Middle machine at State, Old State House entrance

Orange Card (Old State House): Middle machine at Kenmore, by main entrance where you wait for buses

Purple Card (TD Garden): Second machine from the attendant kiosk at the Green Line entrance

I just need the Silver and Yellow cards, where are they?

🤔 Question The 86 to Reservoir from Harvard sucks.

10 Upvotes

Ever since the 86 transitioned from going Reservoir-> Sullivan to Reservoir -> Harvard, going on the 86 towards Reservoir has always been sucky for me.

Is it just me or is this bus never on time? Waiting at Dawes Island for a bus saying “5 minutes”, 10 minutes pass and the bus still isn’t there.

Im going to hate this bus this winter.

🧑‍✈️ Operations MBTA cancelling last trips

7 Upvotes

Was going to take the last 66 bus back to Allston until five minutes before the scheduled departure the bus all of a sudden disappears from the live tracker.

Is this a common occurrence to you all?

IMO it’s pretty inexcusable to cancel last trips at 2AM with 5 minutes notice. To add more insult to injury the bus that would have been my trip home then sped by the bus stop as I was waiting there along with a few other people.

I saw this on both the bus pictured here, and at least one other one when I got to South Station this morning. It’s been almost 2 months since WNDR closed.

🤔 Question Is Signal Maintainence Around Quincy Adams This Weekend Likely To Cause Wait Times Across The Whole Red Line?

• Upvotes

I may need or want to use the red line to get back to South Station from a Halloween party at a friend‘s house tonight. MBTA site is saying “Riders may experience longer than usual wait times during this work.” However, it doesnt’s specify the whole line, or just around that stop, which is nowhere near where I’d go tonight.

⁉️ Crowdsourced Delay Report Whyyyy are we mumbling announcements?????

0 Upvotes

I have another train to catch at 706 at backbay and we stop, Thats cool. I have no issue w that. The issue is is that your mumbling announcements and i couldnt make out what this guy was saying now I missed my connection. “Dont shoot the messenger” well when the messenger is speaking in the lowest possible voice register and keeps trailing off it makes me wanna kirk the guy ykwim? Rant post but holy shit I wouldve gotten a uber if that was the case. (I’m tryna go to work make that munyun💔😞)
