minus-square@jordanlundlink7•4 months agoI guess the good news is, it’s not limited to Boston. I’ve been burned by “transit tracker” in multiple cities. Had a good conversation with Amtrak as well… Had a ticket from a specific city and the agent just laughed. “Oh, that train is ALWAYS late…” I figured, OK, sure, 20 minutes? 30 minutes? Nope. 3 HOURS late, and when they said “always” they meant for the past 20-30 years at least. “If you’re continually 3 hours late, for 30 years, why not just make that the new schedule?” O_O “Well, we can’t do that…”
