Dreadful Commuting

After being crammed into a tin car on tracks known in Massachusetts as the "T", I grab the Metro paper only to read of horror and murder in Dorchester, assassin attempts on our new president-elect and to find out that the GM of the MBTA doesn't even take the T himself.

After being squished up against the door for 8 stops, twice a day, five days a week, this bit of news really irks me.

There is a petition going on to have Daniel Grabauskas removed from the GM position of the MBTA for the mismanagement of T funds.

Grabauskas gets a free ride every morning and no its not on the Green Line. He drives in a taxpayer-funded car and gets to park at a taxpayer-funded garage. Hmmm, that must be nice.

While he is cruising in what I paid for, I get the joy of being creeped out on the T at night and it costs me the taxes I pay, in addtion to the $3.40 a day for the T, $4 a day to park my car, my $400 a month car payment, not to mention gas, car insurance and my exise tax.


So enjoy your free ride Danny boy, because I am sure as hell not enjoying the one I pay for on the T.

Don't lie, you love the T. Especially when carzy homeless dudes yell obscenities in your face and call you ugly. Not to mention the smooth musical stylings of the fat keyboard player at Downtown Crossing.
