Charlie Cards, Green Line renovation and today's article in the globe still highlights a general dissatisfaction with our city's rapid transit. Complaints ranged from crowded, constant delays, and slow speed, to crabby staff and insensitive passengers, but the jury is out: The Boston "T" needs a little bump to liven its appearance to its passengers. Globe internet posts frequently cited all lines as being difficult for either one of the above reasons or another, with the Green line pulling in behind as the worst rated rapid transit line. This article underscores a bigger point, however, that with one of the oldest transit systems in use in the world, infrastructure renovations and improvements have not kept pace with the modern world and other cities, especially world cities, have left our meagre transit in the dust, literally. It is time to add, extend and augment the Boston subway system. This whole discussion started on the news that the MBTA is adding new Blue Line subway cars.
