public transportation venting

[xfer]

Dear T,

I appreciate you. You allow me to avoid owning a car. You are nearby my house and inexpensive and you go more or less where I need you to go.

But you should not send a train express when the next one is 25 minutes behind. Worse, you should not send three trains express. And you should not add insult to injury by stopping for a red light and refusing to open the door for those of us standing there in the cold, as two minutes slowly tick by and we pound on the glass, before taking off again.

In conclusion, get fucked.

doesn't the t like, not run 24-7? i find that confusing.

yeah WTG IT STOPS AT MIDNIGHT

they could solve like ALL of boston's parking, pollution, and drunk-driving problems if they just fucking extended the hours a little.

Boston would be an infinitely better place if the $15B or whatever had gone to the T instead of the Big Dig.

although i gotta say with the awesome new tunnels and all, driving to the airport last night took me only like ten stress-free minutes.

 

[minxnim]

i have no idea what would happen to my life if the subway stopped at midnight. i'd probably just spend most of the time wandering around confused and hungry.

 

[deadair]

hi... i drive my car everywhere.

 

[minxnim]

i used to drive everywhere (the curse of berkshire county). now i never drive.

but last night i drove a van and it was pretty hard to drive, i have to admit.

 

[deadair]

i would like to not drive... but, Des Moines doesn't have... ummm... you know. the "need" for public transportation

 

[minxnim]

same with the berkshires. but they did have a need for a better tractor mechanic. trust me.

 

[xfer]

you two should get non-polluting segways.

 

[minxnim]

i'd rather eat sand.

 

[deadair]

i'd rather shove shards glass under my fingernails.

 

[xfer]

you guys are so american.

 

[xfer]

i'm referring to the "eating sand" part

 

[FuSoYa]

then you mean they are so "Arab"

 

[FuSoYa]

kidding

 

[xfer]

dude it ain't the arabs getting force-fed sand right now.

public trans is cool but that's where I met the old black dude who kept talking about how heavy his balls were.

that was less cool.

plus, on the private trans front, went to get the brake lights fixed on the grand marquis. final total:

parts = 12.00
labor = 75.00

sometimes I wonder why I struggled through school, clawing and scratching, then on to college, aaaaargh.

lizard's back!
