Quincy Quarry News Weekly Fish Wrap: Heat continues to hammer the MBTA and Chinese Ghosts are EVERYWHERE!
– News and commentary from Quincy Quarry News
First up, the MBTA could not buy a break this week.
For example, a Commuter Rail conductor with a record of bad behavior was arrested for murder.
And adding to this round of bad press for the MBTA, the conductor’s father is the Chief of the MBTA Transit Police.
Next up, while but a week before Orange Line rail service will be shutdown for a month to endeavor a makeover, the MBTA still does not yet have a final “working” plan to provide alternative service.
The only good news so far: not only will the Orange Line’s temporary substitute bus service be free, all one has to do is show a Charlie Card to ride most ANY Commuter Rail Train within basically the 128/95/93 beltway.
Even better, those opting to ride Commuter Rail will not see their Charlie Cards checked for value as Commuter Rail conductors do no have the means to so check the cards.
Not that conductors bother all that much with checking for Commuter Rail passes.
Adding insult to innumerable indignities imposed upon long-suffering straphangers, the T finished the work week with two serial serial fails during the Friday PM commute.
Further on the downside, the lunar month that is this month is the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month and during which ghosts are let loose from the great beyond to wreak havoc upon the living.
Even worse for potentially everyone, Friday the 12th per the Gregorian Calendar, the day after a full moon, is the height of the ghosting during Chinese Hungry Ghost Month.
In short, be afraid, be very afraid.
