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!!!!!!

I've noticed things like this and tend to file them under the "general inconsiderateness" category.

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?
