Post of Appreciation
I would personally like to thank Thomas Caywood, Boston Herald reporter, for writing a front page story about this and two other anti-T blogs. With support like this from the media, maybe change will actually occur.
Here's a link to the Boston Herald article: http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=110264

I seen that article. THats how I found you. Very interesting. I hope the T gets their act together now.
I too was happy to see this article, as a trolley operator, I welcome the chance to comment and clarify things from an operator perspective. In most cases, we too are frustrated by the way thing are, not just with passengers, but with our own equipment. Many of the rules that we have are there for passenger safety and to help maintain a schedule, but are viewed as passenger unfriendly. I am not perfect, no one is and the T is FAR from perfect, but we, as operators really do try to give you the best service possible. The trips into and out of Boston up and down the B,C,D and E line is hard on the equipment(stop and go traffic, weather......). Trust me, we as operators, don't enjoy delays caused by disabled equipment, but we are just operators, with limited powers and knowledge to repair while in transit. We are to concentrate on getting our passengers from point A to point B safely and that, I agree with. Thank you.
that was an eye-opening post, trolleyguy
