Recycling, T style

Just saw an MBTA employee dump the metro paper recycling bin into a trash can at Oak Grove. Why do they pretend to recycle? Ugh.
The T does a better job of recycling old Metros at the inbound platform on the Orange Line at Haymarket: They use bundles of Metros to sop up all the water that keeps draining into the station - and to prop up an orange cone atop the slippery spot the water creates.
March of the T refugees

Jen Stewart took the above photo at the Oak Grove Orange Line station this morning. She reports that it wasn't bad enough that the T bus driver told everybody to get out in the street, way away from the station. When the refugees then straggled up the road because the T didn't shovel the sidewalks, the bus driver honked at them for getting in his way.
Summer on the Orange Line

Nothing says 'Summer on the Orange Line' quite like being stuck next to a sweaty, smelly drunk who is trying to grope your thigh, wouldn't you say? ...

How many T cops does it take to hand out an "If you see something" pamphlet?
By adamg - 3/29/07 - 9:01 amJen Stewart reports the answer to the riddle is six:
Two to pass out brochures, and four to stand with their hands in their pockets, staring longingly at the Dunkin' Donuts stand 5 feet away.
Her mood this morning was not further brightened by the fact that they had taped off all but one of the Charlie machines at Oak Grove to funnel commuters toward those two cops. She wonders whether it might make more sense to have those perpetually angry "customer service agents" hand out brochures nobody reads and have cops do stuff like, oh, preventing more stabbings.
