Not to mention if you use the PayByPhone app as a guest, you can still get ticketed and the app as well as the MBTA apparently don't have or keep records/receipts of guest pass purchases and PayByPhone doesn't text or e-mail you a receipt. Ask me how I know!

Where in the hell did you read that Boston public transit was highly rated?

I spent 2018-2020 working on Albany and Mass Ave. Used to get to Kendall at 5:40-45 AM. Then SHTF and that slowly kept creeping up. Thankfully, I haven't had to work in Cambridge since 2020 but unfortunately now I am once again working in the PRC. Routinely show up at Kendall at or minutes past 6 AM. It depends on how long the doors stay open at each stop to let the freezing cold air in and then those nice mid-tunnel dead stops so the train can remember where it's supposed to go.

Paid for parking at the Braintree garage via the forced bullshit app. Two weeks later get a non-payment violation in the mail and then had my appeal denied. Straight up robbery. The MBTA can get fucked and I will be recouping my $10 and quite frankly, I might just say fuck it from here on out. I'm almost 30 now, I could use the early morning climb to get the blood pumping.

I wonder if "slow zones" will still exist like Savin Hill because if the train goes faster than 15 MPH everyone might die.

Should have gone to Chicago. Pretty much a bigger and better version of Boston and definitely better public transit in 2023. The only thing that makes public transit bearable in Boston is the fact that Boston is a tiny city. It should have a big old asterisk on any top 10 lists it graces.
