Slashing away on an Orange Line shuttle bus

adamg — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:47:00 -0500

Flann reports on a knife fight on one of the shuttle buses the T was running instead of trains along the Orange Line north of Boston on Saturday:

... Meanwhile, in the back, [Old Guy] is bleeding, [Knife Guy] has blood all over his jacket. KG's gf was jumping on his back to try to get him off OG and he just shoved her off. KG then headbutted OG in the face and OG fell back, dazed and gushing blood now. KG took this lull as an opportunity to pull out his friggin switchblade and start waving it around. I took the lull as an opportunity to get the hell outta there. ...

Call it the straw that broke the Orange Line commuter's back: Karl vows to never ride the line again after his train got stalled at Sullivan Square:

... What really pissed me off and got me to storm out of the station and never ride that line again is that the operator gave different excuses each time she got on the intercom. The first one was "traffic up ahead" which was bullshit as everyone there (myself included) was waiting almost 20 minutes before it came in. Then a few minutes later they said "switching problem at Oak Grove", which I also didn't buy because the so-called switching problem was reported at a time where Forest Hills bound trains should not even yet be affected. I mean, if it occurred about an hour ago, that would make sense. So I say adios to the Orange Line and don't know when or if I will ever ride it again. ...

... I saw an older woman "heisman trophy" a guy this morning so she could get off at Sullivan Sq. before he walked on. She sorta patted him on the chest after the stiff arm. He smiled a bit, and bowed his head in repentance.

Should T bus drivers take personality tests?

adamg — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 08:59:06 -0400

Because if they did, Tape might have gotten off at his normal stop instead of having the driver on the 89 bus scream at him and demand he never step foot on that bus again.
