@MBTA Why not just be honest with people and say trains will not proceed past Park until the issue is resolved? There’s no point giving a 15 minute delay estimate until you know for sure when the delay will be cleared.
@KevinKman81@Breaking911 So citizens of foreign countries are not subject to the legal jurisdiction of the United States while on US soil? Your new definition of jurisdiction will be excellent news for any foreign visitors who have committed a crime while in the US.
@MBTA More E branch delays this evening, nice to have a half hour of delays both going to and from work. Why can’t the brand new Lechmere signals and switches work in the cold?
@MikeConnollyMA Is the “commission to consider” part necessary for happy hour? I do support any progress towards it (and the rest of your bills), but not a huge fan of the many commissions and studies that inevitably kick the can on progress at all levels of government.
Trolley Buses are a critically underrated and underused form of transit that we should be looking more at for an all electric future. Let's talk about it in this Armchair Urbanist video:

“More than $43 million for the McGrath Boulevard Project in Somerville”
Pretty exciting to see @SomervilleCity@SomervilleInfr1 getting almost half this funding. Hopefully @MassDOT can move quickly to allocate this funding and begin the project.
@DevinInMA @AaronSeifer@MBTA @gatorsafterdark @transitmatters Can you use the data pulled from the new train tracker to see if it was a new or old train operating in the area when the disabled train alert went out?
"A 1% increase in new supply;
i) lowers average rents by 0.19%,
ii) effectively reduces rents of lower-quality units, &
iii) disproportionately increases the number of second-hand units available for rent. Moreover, the impact on rents is equally strong in high-demand markets."
@DanielHCantwell@OnlyInBOS Yes it does if you want any benefits of through-running all lines. You can’t run trains every five minutes through the grade crossings in Cambridge.
