Most of citizens depend on it but the bad transit condition became headache, especially the train times. I appreciate that you have posted this issue and have putted a question mark on the rules. Despite depending on the train it's better to find another means of transportation. <a href="http://www.pegasustransit.com/coach-bus-transportation/" rel="nofollow">Ventura Transit</a>. I think this post will work to make correction of the rules up-to some extent.

The solution is typically some small change that could significantly improve passenger experience.<br /><br />I have a good example for you: I often take the Green Line up to Lechmere. There have been times when I take the C to North Station, and wait on the platform for the next E train. Now, there are two-car C trains that come through, where the operators have to switch their roles and from one car to the other. Instead of moving the train along into the northbound tunnel and having them switch cars on a service platform, the MBTA has the operators switch at North Station. I've seen them walk from one end to the other, restart the cars, etc. while there is clearly another train waiting to get in. More infuriatingly, there have been times where I'm watching the two operators chat and catch up outside the train, while an incoming northbound train waits to enter the station, delaying everything behind it. Ridiculous to do this on a line where the trains are so closely spaced. Clearly, no one thought about passenger experience in this strategy.nsn220http://google.comnoreply@blogger.com
