North Station crowds

Tonight, not last February.

Claire Blechman is among those caught in a morass of delays at North Station this evening.

Harry Pierre is stuck, too.

I guess ridiculous attempts at showing you care about fare evasion mean little when there are such delays.

This is what we need in Boston, especially with them trying to push a fair increase through at this point:

Group Urges Swedes To Evade Subway Fares, And Even Insures Against Fines

... The members of this group believe that public transportation should be paid for by taxes, with free tickets. The idea may not be so far-fetched. Nearby Tallinn, Estonia, recently went that route, and a handful of other cities in Europe and the U.S. have experimented with the same thing.

These fare jumpers complain that subway tickets in Stockholm cost 75 percent more than they did a decade ago. ...

My train broke down and the bus never showed up.

Certainly the fair increases will fix these problems.
