What’s Your Favorite T Stop?
We spend a lot of time on the T. At least twice a day, and we assume that you probably do the same. At a minimum we're on the T (not the commuter rail) or waiting for it at a stop for at least 30 minutes a day — that's about 2% of our day, 3.36 hours a week, 12 hours a month, 161 hours a year, and over the course of, say, a 40-year T-riding lifespan, thats six thousand, four hundred and fifty one hours (almost an entire year) spent languishing in the underground pugatory known as the MBTA. And if you take into consideration the fact that this is a conservative estimate of average time on the T per day, you start to realize, like we did, that there's a whole lot of your life that you want back.
So, we'd like to know what is your favorite, and least favorite T stop?
For us, we'd have to say our favorite would have to be Haymarket, specifically the orange line part. Admittedly there is nothing incredible about it, but we don't need gimmicks. Haymarket is like a second home to us; hearing "next stop Haymarket; doors will open on the right" brings us a warm, inviting feeling inside. We're home.
On the other hand, you have the tourist-laden, gift-shop-having, confusing mess that is Park St. The green line scares us (it's too complicated), and Park St. is the worst part of it.
The obvious place for us to hurl this big wad of dripping public transportation love is over at T Rage, but he's on vacation in Florida. So instead let us tag Involuntary Slacker — what have you to say, Lyss?
