I've been on the T for every sports parade since 2001 various 4th of July's, 1st nights and for yesterdays events. The one thing I've noticed is that the part of the system run by the T itself has been able to adapt to crowds and still move people I will give you slower and with some hiccups.
The commuter rail has always seemed to lag behind. So my question is why is this? Is it because it's subcontracted and the subcontractor doesn't want to pay? Is it because of hours of service with the crew? Is it not prepositioning of equipment? Or am I missing something? FRA regulations?
I suspect it is a combination of all the above and somethings I didn't think of.
