why the T can go fuck itself. again.[views:1246][posts:11]____________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:41pm - anonymous ""] i've never seen such a poor execution of whatever the fuck it is the T is trying to do. so, going to a T station and buying a weekly pass on sunday is apparently a colossal pain in the ass now. the window that popped up on the machine where you usually buy the ticket looked completely different and useless. naturally i asked the beaner T worker to help me out. he fiddled with the machine a little, gave me a card seemed to know what he was doing. logical thing to do, right? yeah, no. today on my way to work, instead of being disgusted by the sloths on the red line, i randomly wondered if the value of $16.50 i had put on my card equated to an unlimited amount of T rides (like it normally should) or was just stored value. i asked a T lady who, without hesitation, told me it was stored value. basically, i have a whopping $11.00 left for the week to take a bus and a train to and from work. wonderful. she also said that the MBTA had literally changed this overnight without telling anyone, including the workers. as a result angry bostonians were tearing her a new asshole every day and someone even accused her of stealing from him. double wonderful. if the MBTA was personified as a person, it'd be a black guy. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:49pm - sinistas ""] that's what you get for letting the T worker do it. you can store either a fixed dollar value, a weekly pass, or a monthly pass. it's not that difficult to get the right thing. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:58pm - anonymous ""] it wouldn't be as difficult to figure out if they didn't change everything overnight. i flat out told the dude i get a weekly combo passthe lady T worker told me all this wasn't supposed to go into effect until jan 1. THOSE ASSHOLES. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:15pm - anonymous ""] "7 day visitor pass" replaced "weekly combo pass". i guess i am retarded for not knowing that, and the T makes total sense. |
