@MBTA Just gonna ignore how you cancelled a train without warning, stranding passengers for 30+ minutes in the freezing cold with rain blowing sideways onto the platform at East Somerville?

[Sam Fromowitz @spfromo19]

I wait 25 mins for the sign to say 19 MINS. Longer than before. Pouring rain, wind blowing it horizontal. Full platform. Shivering uncontrollably despite being layered. Had to call an Uber. You gonna cover it? Because why not send a new train from the yard LITERALLY RIGHT THERE?

@MBTA Hi. What the fuck?

Let me elaborate. M/T E line train takes 11 minutes to show up after last left North St.

We get to East Som., the driver says oh sorry last stop. No elaboration. Train pulls away, says next in 18 mins. Nothing the other way. No other route to get home

There are some valid reasons for changing the schedule like #InternationalBreak alignment, seeing your favorite player,…, but with a league in as unique a #soccer country as the US/CAN, it’s not clearly black/white. We need to consider carefully. 10/10🧵

With rumors around #MLS schedule shift and general positivity around it, we need to tread carefully.

8) Even for those ONLY consuming by TV, less attendance for all these reasons = lesser quality experience for the TV viewer. The stadium experience, look and sound are what MLS pundits and fans argued differentiated it and made it worth any money before #AppleTV deal. 9/

@NoahRiffe that button is a gigantic aura enhancer

@__clownbaby69 @robbf785 @ELROLONW yeah seriously. Schmetzer has had historically terrible relationships with Lodeiro, Ruidiaz, Joao Paulo, Yeimar, Roman Torres, Montero, Medranda, Fernandez, Valdez…

get outta here with that nonsense.
