Not only do we need more transit and less driving, we need Boston drivers to get better. Pls be rational and stop being assholes, for the love of the gods.
I need you to stop pulling 3/4 into a space and then backing up and then pulling back in.
The worst is when they are pretty much in the space, no issue, but they insist on backing up anyway.
I think I want a dash camera just so I can relay all of the incredibly bad driving moves I see on the road. (Keep in mind, I only drive to do errands I absolutely have to do by car.)
I absolutely agree and if I could take it everywhere, I would.

If only ppl understood this: "the T has 2 budgets: the operating budget (for paying people, some maintenance, and debt service) and the capital budget (for construction, repair, and most maintenance)." commonwealthmagazine.org/opi…

"transit agencies need to rely less on fare revenues for operating expenses. This is a structural change in how operating budgets are set... Unless it is resolved, we will have recurring operating budget deficits without regard to post-COVID ridership return."

This December, #GreenLineExtension reached a major milestone as we began running test trains along the newly constructed viaduct and Lechmere Station. With Green Line operator training up next, we continue making great strides toward #BuildingABetterT.

If any business is ripe for a union, it's Starbucks. This is bs.

Why are cars allowed in Harvard Square? I know I'm not the 1st to bring this up, but it just leads to problems. Go the way of Florence and numerous other cool cities: districts for ppl.
Evidence suggests the self-driving cars are not ready for prime time and I am fully sympathetic to this concern, but the number of ppl driving out there while looking at their phones is both frustrating and unsafe.

This situation is not going to encourage ppl to rely on the train.

It's true. If parking is a nightmare, I always opt for transit. I suppose this is true in the aggregate, but there are ppl who will drive *anywhere* despite the hellscape of parking (see Back Bay and Harvard Square). I don't understand this sort.

Another life lesson: don't drive to downtown Boston or Cambridge if you're not used to traffic and tight spaces. Just take the goddamn train. I guarantee it will be more pleasant than getting honked at, paying through the nose for parking, or trying to find a space.
