It's good that the MBTA has plenty of money and doesn't need a fare increase and isn't running a deficit. Just scrap systems that are in good condition and buy new unproven equipment. They are very smart.
Who was saying that the MBTA wire crews just put up a "slow 5 MPH" sign instead of fix problems in the overhead directly above?
Wasn't it more like putting up the sign at proper switches that operators often forgot about and dewired at?
Or rather to warn following motorists to expect the coach to slow down seemingly unnecessarily?
Like Benton Sq. which is "in the middle of nowhere." And they never finished rebuilding the short turn loop there so the facing switch was eventually taken out to eliminate the needed slowdown?) Was Benton Sq. the location of the 5 MPH sign that someone on the February fan trip included in their Youtube video?
