Where was this filmed?

[jdgator95]

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 all around Boston

[Oaklandgirlpitlover1]

@jdgator95 Are Patriots fans able to take the Subway, or those green street cars to the football games? We have a system called BART over here in Oakland. And it stops right by the Oakland Coliseum Complex where the Raiders, A's and Warriors play. I guess what I'm trying to ask, is if your transit system is just as convenient in terms of your local sporting events.

[jdgator95]

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 The MBTA has good access to downtown sporting events, the Green Line stops at the Boston garden where Celtics and Bruins games are held, along with Fenway Park for Red Sox games. As far as football the Patriots don't play in downtown Boston, but in Foxboro, south of it, so you can't get there by subway. During Patriots games however there are special game day commuter rail trains that you can take to the stadium from Boston.

[Oaklandgirlpitlover1]

@jdgator95 Oh, thats right, they do play in Foxboro. How long of a train trip is it from Boston?

[Pokestar9]

is that an orange line in 2:00? that was painted pink! how'd you get that?

[jdgator95]

@Pokestar9 no it was orange, mightve just been the lighting

[Pokestar9]

@jdgator95 lighting? from what?

[SuperOwned12]

[radanju1]

Hey, I know it's late to say merry christmas because it's april 2010 but... MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS!!!

[bbman2197]

hello i have a question. If your riding the green line you get on at a station that does not have any paying station and you get on the middle trolley of the cars. How does the driver make sure you pay?

[jdgator95]

The driver usually makes an announcement that you have to come up to the front and pay.

[Mikosch2]

@jdgator95

That's one big advantage of the T compared to my system here.. nobody gives a shiX of whether you pay or not...

[ElevatorMatt]

I love the green line shots, its so picturesque. And if you replaced the current cars with some older streetcars it would look pretty aunthentic.

[jdgator95]

Definitely. Have you seen the Mattapan-Ashmont branch on the Red Line? It looks even more picturesque, plus it uses restored PCC cars from the '40s!

Good to see some footage from a town with no whistle ban. I was talking to a green line trolley operator last Sunday (when there were a lot of single car trolleys out running) and he said there were several breakdowns forcing the crew at the Riverside & Reservoir yards to decouple trolley pairs and send them out as singles.

[jimster586]

Awesome video, and a Merry Christmas to you too!

[jdgator95]

Thank you

[CJaguar265]
