be nice to the MBTA it's just trying to help! I like Boston's trains. So what if they're not the best, they still get you there, don't they. I enjoy the train. they green line is a trolley
And to all of those, past and future people commenting on this piece, Please remember that this is just for the Boston’s green line and not other cities, towns, or states. It is about the proficiency of the green line. Rates have hiked and service has dropped. We have had around 3 trolley to trolley accidents in the last couple of years, which (as I believe) is unheard of. So, please stop comparing other locations to this piece.
Do you think the Green Line would be better if it were converted to high platforms and proof of payment fare collection (that is no payments on the train)? That could
make boarding faster. Then you would need more cars to help solve the crowding problem.
@Armygreentiger Yeah, the green line sucks, but I agree that I'd rather have it than not have it at all. I just take someone with me into boston and they can pay the green line.
New England Needs a good rail system...and one that dosent smell like piss.
I was doing an academic piece on a problem I feel that people in this area this is a huge problem; I was not trying to get into a pissing contest with other states or city transportation systems. Thank you.
I actually focused on the C and B lines, granted that the D and E lines are much better which makes no senses because if your waiting at park st. to copley, you’ll have see three to four times as many E and D lines to one B or C lines. Question, is there more people who live in those E and D lines then B or C? I don’t think so. But I did have most of the video in the B and C areas. You can see not only the B line but the C line areas like ST. Mary's and Coolidge Corner..
you spoiled brat you're lucky to live in a city that has mass transit and especially one that has a subway system running through the entire city which is something a lot of cities like philadelphia doesn't have. Why don't you just take the bus then? probably because deep down inside you secretly love the green line. I took the b line every day for 4 years and dealt with all the crap in this video but never complained about it. they raised prices that stinks but it could be much worse.
@MrDJCrazyDiamond Well Mr.DJ and all the other with the same opinion, I don’t think name calling is right for an academic piece. I was trying to do an academic piece on a problem that I believe people who lives here ALL their life, believes is important. Now, if you think that your area has issues with that areas public transportation system, then don’t cry to me about it and do your own video about your areas issues.
@MrDJCrazyDiamond Also, with close to 3,000 views and a four and a half star rating, I believe that there are people out there that feel the same way I do. But thank you for your nonacademic view on this piece.
first off, the Green Line is not a subway line. It's a light rail line with some underground stops in downtown Boston. Second, at least you have some way to get around the area 19 hours a day, every day, including holidays. Where I live, we have 5 bus lines. They're free, but they run once every hour, and only Monday-Friday (no holidays), from about 6:30AM-6:30PM. And that 4 mile trip? It would take at least an hour. However, to solve crowding problems, the MBTA could attach another car.
i think it does once i was there april 2006 and rode on both green and red lines mostly green and there were lots of delays on both i don't know why maybe something similar happened.
they need to have like, 4-car sets instead of 2-car sets, so that when a train comes, it can hold twice the passengers as it already does, making it less cluttered. paying $2 a ride, or even $60 a month, people deserve it.
The Green Line was much worse in 1976-78 when I commuted from Brighton to Park Street. Of course the fare was only 45 cents. Thinking of those old 1940s trolleys still makes me sick. It doesn't look so bad now.
Okay video...what the problem is, is that the MBTA is being sued hugely soon if they don't renovate the stations. It's sort of a catch-22 situation, if they don't renovate the stations to make the accessibility requirements, they get sued..but they don't have the money for either the suit or the renovations...they could dock the pay, but then there would be no employees...I think you need to research this more if you wanted to make a video about it.
I'm a Green Line commuter too - on the B line, from Brighton Avenue/Packard's Corner to Hynes Convention Center - and it's really, really horrendous. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's pissed off about paying almost $60 a month to get terrible service.
