Thus, the police presence at South Station as I wandered in for my 4pm train….

I came out of Park St on

I came out of Park St on Monday and there were SO MANY cops. 5 motorcycles parked outside the headhouse, others milling about. Even saw 2 in the bedding department at Macy's. INSIDE Macys. How did this person get away?

Daytime shootings

Are happening more often. People should be able to go in and out of public transit without getting shot. Sentencing for shooting a gun in public should be a 10 year minimum. Offenders often repeat the same crime when let out after a year or two.

No

1-2 years of prison doesn’t turn criminals into law-abiding citizens so the answer is… 5x more prison.

Letting them back on the streets doesn’t work either

How many times has Adam posted an article about someone on existing charges being caught again for something new? Sometimes they have multiple(!) existing charges. And I’m not talking about petty things. I’m talking about illegal guns, attempted murder, etc. These people provide nothing to society aside from terrorizing society and they need to be punished.

Ooof

Rough couple of months in Downtown Crossing.

Escape by the T

I bet he didn't pay his fare while making his escape.

43 bus diverted?

By Ron Newman on Thu, 05/26/2022 - 6:19pm.

As I came out of Bowdoin station around 4 pm, I saw a #43 bus where it did not belong, waiting for a green light on Bowdoin Street at the intersection with Cambridge Street. I did not notice which way the bus went once the light changed (since I was getting on my bike to ride over the Longfellow Bridge). Could this have been in any way related?

New bus routes?

/joke that isn’t funny

They are creating new routes

They are creating new routes (!!!!) in that bus schedule thingee they released a week or so ago.

I don’t know.

But I was waiting for that no show bus on Tremont so thanks for the partial explanation.
The helicopters over the Common were loud. I thought they were news copters there because of all the memorial flags and thought how rude of them to spoil the experience of the people who came to see the flags.
