i have nooo idea how trains work so maybe someone can explain…a signal problem underground, from the sounds of it, was preventing the tracks from switching.

but that would mean the tracks were just leading to the wrong place, yeah? so how and why is it considered BETTER to evacuate trains and make people walk back to copley in the tunnel, rather than just continuing any “stuck” trains into the next station, even if they ended up on the wrong side of the platform, and letting passengers out there?

honestly just look up the address of your prospective job and zoom out a bit on google maps and start clicking on restaurants in the area. look at their menus to get an idea of what a “nice” lunch would cost you at those places (theres quite a range depending on how much food you consider filling or if we’re talking takeout vs sit-down)

i love walking around boston. sometimes i walk long distances between train stops instead of getting on the train just because its a nice walk (like from kenmore to government center or aquarium so i can get straight on the blue line. or from gov center to charles/mgh to avoid the green and red lines.) i enjoy it.

obviously theres some bad intersections and whatever but the only other cities i am familiar enough with to compare are providence, new haven ct, san francisco and seattle. i’d say boston is the top of the list and the west coast cities at the bottom for “cities id like to commute via legs”.
