What is the big rush!!! My daughter broke her hip and has a hard time
getting up off the sit and making to the door without the door hitting
her as she passes through. The train drivers are always in a rush.
What about the elderly, it takes them time to make it to the door
before it closes. It has happen on the Green Line, Orange Line and
Blue Line. Each time she would end up and tear, because it she was
hurt.
It is bad enough get on and off but to get a seat is
another problem. Years ago the driver would make an announcement to
all riders to let the elder, handicap and pregnant women have a seat.
Not anymore. The minute the riders see that a handicap or elderly
person, is getting on, the put their heads down and try not to be
noticed. May times I had to tap someone on the shoulder and ask them
to get up to give my daughter a seat.
Instead of thinking of how fast they can get the train for one station to another, stop and think of the riders.
Shame on the MBTA!!!!!!

The other day I was on the T and there were three women blocking the door. People were trying to get off, yelling "I HAVE TO GET OFF THE TRAIN" and they wouldn't budge, grumbling something about losing their spot on the train. What gives? What ever happened to good old consideration for your fellow human? 2. Guest User That's the T for ya. I guess I'm too young to remember when people weren't rude at every opportunity. ![[smiley=sad]](http://www.unleashyouranger.com/components/com_jreactions/custom/templates/simple/smileys/smiley_sad.gif) 3.

Guest User You know what I noticed? Idiots that take forever to get on the train and think its their god given right to hold up the 1200 other people on the train. Get to the station on time so you don't have to rush for the train, and get up before the train comes to your stop so its easy to get off. |
