How do you solve a problem like the MBTA?

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority subway services doesn’t like you. It hates you. It hates its job. It wants to be put out of its misery. Why else would those fuckers be so goddamn unreliable?

The MBTA trains stole their unoriginal logo from the Swedes who probably decided to take the first letter of the word “TRANSPORTATION” and put it inside a circle. Unsurprisingly, the locals ended up calling it the “T”

T is for Terrible

"T" is for Terrible

I feel that this logo doesn’t quite capture the essence of the Boston subway system. No it’s more than just a “Train.” It’s a fucking frustrating failure of a fucktard!

Ah...thats more appropriate.

The "F"...that's more like it.

Seriously, I understand how traffic can cause delays for MBTA buses-after all Boston pedestrians, drivers and bikers are like kamikaze pilots on a mission-but there are no excuses for the trains to be delayed every fucking week! Not when they know that there are millions of commuters at the mercy of their reliability. I can not believe they don’t know this, therefore I will have to assume that, yeah…if you’re a commuter, they really don’t like you.

Hey Michael Bay! I’ve got the perfect character for your upcoming Transformer sequel! Its name is Broke-a-Tron, it’s an MBTA red line train who breaks down! Now I know what you’re thinking, “It breaks down? How is it perfect?” Well I know how much you love explosions in your movies, Broke-a-Tron is almost always at the verge of doing just that. The only problem is it’s so dedicated to this role of breaking down for no reason that it might break before the camera starts rolling. Actually, it’s guaranteed it will break before the camera starts rolling. Expect delays and plan your filming accordingly.

Also, Broke-A-Tron has a bit of an attitude problem as well.

And Michael Bay, I know how you like to rape popular franchises of the 80’s and screw everyone who loved those originals. It reminded me of another character who’s just perfect for your Transformer sequel. Its name is Omegasshole Prime, an MBTA green line train who loves to screw commuters! It rapes everyone with hiked up fares to pay for new sardined versions of it’s old crappy self. It breaks down almost as much as Broke-a-Tron. They’re all pretty much the same really.

Its like Kobe Bryant....but a train.

Kobe Bryant? oh it's just Omegasshole Prime.

By the way, Michael Bay (that rhymed!), they can’t work too long of hours. They have to be in before 1AM if not earlier. Why? Well, because how else would they be able to encourage drunk driving? Most bars close at 2AM in Boston. Cabs are expensive as hell. The trains need to be closed so that Joe “the inebriated frat boy” will find it reasonable to get in his car and attempt to drive home right after he relearns how to walk. What’s that Mr. Bay? Why would the trains want to do that? Because just like you, The MBTA trains are douche bags.

Wow did I just seriously rip on Michael Bay and the MBTA? Blog should’ve been called Michael Bay Transit Authority.

A.D.D.

So in conclusion to this rant. I hate the “T” I hate it so much that I feel sick knowing that it’s my only transportation to and from work. You know that problem about the trains shutting down before 1AM? Well working for Improv Asylum, has me working till 2AM which means there will be no going home for me once my shift is through. So, I’m at my work right now. Just sitting here typing all of this and waiting for the trains to be open for services again. I feel sick.
