I agree. I lived in the city of Boston for 20 years, and I got around just fine on the subways -- they did shut down before midnight, and that was often inconvenient, but subways were fine for travel inside the city.
Then I moved out to the suburbs. There was a real train station in my town, and I did commute into Boston via train for a few years, but it was awful. If I worked a few minutes late, I would miss my usual train and have to wait 2 hours to catch the next one. If I had a meeting 30 minutes before my usual start time, I would have to show up 2 hours early. The train schedule ruled my life. No thanks!
CCG — I am very disappointed in you. You did not adjust your life to the needs of the State. You will be a prime target for re-education.
