Finally got a new red line train! Exciting! Miss the cloth seats already, which I did not expect. Like how clean they are. More room to stand.... oh. Oh no. Train is stopped over a bridge and the driver just started walking through the cars towards the back of the train shaking his head. Final verdict- seems about the same. Plus side- I don't smell smoke. Update- We made it into downtown crossing with all souls! I revise my rating to 'above average'.

Yeah, the cloth ones do get dirtied, but they prevent you from slipping and sliding around. better than the new plastic ones...

I prefer the plastic ones because they can be cleaned.

I just barely missed what would've been my first new train last night because the two women in front of me insisted on walking as slow as possible shoulder to shoulder down the stairs.

This is Boston; you don't just red rover your way through slow groups blocking paths?

Got on a new one a week or so ago and one of the doors was broken.

Only one door? That’s a huge upgrade!

It wasn't the door that was broke. It was your expectations.

Not directly on point, but how long does it take to go from Ashmont to So. Station at 7:00 - 8:00 in the morning?
