More MBTA Troubles....I just drive into Boston, Don't Want to Risk the T

 

‘For a major city to not have reliable public transportation is a huge problem.’ Rider frustration with T cuts is palpable. When Chris White, 22, first began commuting from Dorchester to Back Bay for his personal trainer job, the subway ride took him about half an hour, he said. Then suddenly last month, the train countdown clocks started featuring double-digit instead of single-digit numbers and his commute time doubled. Now, he’s considering ditching the T altogether.

“I didn’t know that it was going to be so inconsistent,” he said while waiting for an Orange Line train.
Rider frustration on the subway is palpable, after the T slashed service on the Blue, Red, and Orange lines last month by more than 20 percent in response to safety edicts from the federal government after a series of terrifying incidents.
