Does anyone notice that the token machines at most stations are constantly "temporarily out of order". The one's at Park Street have been out of service for a while.
How is this any way to run a transit system? I mean honestly, would this ever fly in NYC or DC. Why does the T think it can provide lower service?
If they were smart, they would realize that the machines reduce costs of having long lines waiting for a person to sell them a token.
Don't tell me they arent going to invest in fixing them because charlie machines are coming soon. They aren't.
Also, why are there so many stations with only 1 way escalators? Government Center Blue up to Green line, but not vice versa. Park Street greenline inbound to street, but not vice versa. Etc.... who plans these things?
