The T

There are a quarter of a million stories on the Red Line. Tom Bruno reports from the Red Line this afternoon:

Drunk guy in a track suit just poured himself a drink and took off his shirt to change between Central and Kendall. Only on the MBTA! Looked like something vile mixed with a bottle of Starbucks Frappucino! Worst part was that you could smell it half-way across the car!

The Herald reports MBTA Transit Police today launch an iPhone app that will let T riders instantly report pervs and suspicious packages.

The new app is already available for download in the Apple App Store as MBTA See Say and will be available today on the Transit Police Web site.

In addition to text reports, users will be able to click a button to connect to a police dispatcher, at least in areas along their route where they have cell service.

An Android version is planned for later release, the T says.

Robinite reports the two vehicles collided pretty much on top of the Green Line at Comm. Ave. and Allston Street around 9:30 p.m. That shut the inbound tracks; arriving emergency vehicles shut the outbound tracks as well.

Ed. question: Is that intersection cursed, or what?

Don't just sit/stand there vacantly staring at the clinical depression study ads anymore. Play MBTA Bingo!

That link will take you to an alpha version of the game. If you don't like the choices, hit reload for a new card. Needs some formatting work. This would be perfect for a mobile app, which, alas, is way beyond my abilities, but I should be able to at least get checkboxes on the items, so you can click when you see/hear/smell one of the items (or you could go old school and just print out a card before you go).

And let me know what things should be added to the card!
