Unpopular opinion PSA for people who didn’t grow up in Massachusetts and/or try to influence public policy via Reddit social media comments: public transportation in Boston is probably 9.5/10 for an American city.

It’s hilarious being able to obviously pick out ppl not originally from the area who make the loudest row about how bad things are here with the obvious intention to change things cause they don’t know what it used to be like or they’re tired of being jerked around and want to call this place home. I get what the end game is, but their perspective is completely lacking

I did, in fact, grow up in the Boston area. And I lived in Boston proper for 8 years.

Who fucking cares if the T is good by American standards if it still doesn’t fulfill the needs of the people who live here?

Honestly, if your whole thought process on this topic is “well at least it’s better than Houston”, then my opinion is that it’s YOU who lacks proper perspective.

God this is such a dogshit comment.

I did grow up in the Boston area - not that it even matters.

But how dare you try to diminish the needs of people who live in Boston because they’re not from here, as if that fucking makes a difference. They pay taxes here. Their opinions matter just as much as yours.

But you go ahead and enjoy your participation trophy for the “least shit transit system out of the worlds shittiest transit systems” while people are getting priced out of the city and can’t get to their jobs effectively.
