Chocolate Train

So the MBTA have been making headlines as of late. First off because a loophole has been found in their new fancy turnstiles. Apparently you can fool the exit sensor into thinking that someone is exiting the station and therefore give you access without paying.

I gotta say that I've never thought of this. I was sure there was some sort of failsafe, but I should have expected as much from the MBTA. While people do utilize this method for getting around the fare system, others (the more ignorant and stupid ones) just break the the damn things.

As much as I hate to admit it, the T has gotten a slight bit better over the years. They still have a long way to go but at least they're headed in the right direction. Most of the improvements are paid for with our money, and I can understand getting around the turn style which only screws the MBTA out of a couple bucks, but breaking the things not only screws us out of about 2k worth of damage, but slows down the flow of foot traffic cause we have one less turn style to utilize. Fuck you assholes.

Now after reading that you would assume that I'm currently in a bad mood. I assure you that is not the case. Actually I feel pretty good, not sure why, but I don't care. Even after what happened this morning, I'm in high spirits.

So I make it to the station unscathed and jump on board my train to Boston. As usual the T was up to its usual standards with half the cars having soaked seats because of the sudden downpour of...
