Porter Square Red Line Stop: Those Escalators Print E-mail

So I noticed that the escalators that takes you from street level to the gates at Porter Station are shut down due to schedualed maintance.  Not a huge deal except that the sign indicates that it will shut down until DEC 10th! How long does it take to fix an escalator.  I think you could build a new one in that amount of time.  In fact I think that you could design and build from a scratch a new metheod of passenger mobility that runs 100% on recycled Charlie Cards in that amount of time!  In the mean time in stead of turning the "up" escalator into a down one in the morning, and reversing it at say around 12, they funnel all the morning commuters down one narrow stairway!

What a crock! Seriously, between this and the previous rant about how much money they are losing, you just have to wonder who on earth is running that operation.

recycled charlie cards is a great idea. Very green!

red sox fan, I think he's implying that we'd burn the charlie cards in a giant bonfire to generate energy for moving passengers around. Very un-green. burning plastic is bad for the environment.
