Thanks u/SchminksMcGee for suggesting contacting the local news, it's working! And they're digging into the craziness of anyone who drives in MA for 30 days being required to dual-register. by bostonshopper

If you consider the FTA's recent involvement, the T has had federal oversight for some time as well. I can't find the source now but i read a few times that Poftak and Baker went back a ways - so no matter how bad Stevie fucked up the T, he was never getting fired. That's why it's continued to decline. It's no coincidence he gtfo as soon as Maura was taking over.

Because anything involving massdot is incapable of being completed on time or on budget. The levels of nepotism, corruption, and incompetence are astounding.

OP hasn't shown us the note - he's probably misinterpreting what they are doing.

They likely are replacing the lines at the street, but are required to have all utilities marked before they can dig (811), and the survey companies usually mark from the street to the house by default.

This is the T. Not likely. They aren't suddenly going to care about the opinions of the passengers when they never have before.

Seems like there could be ethical and privacy issues with his voice being that easily replicated.
Imagine calling his bank? "Yes of course I'm the real slim sh...i mean frank oglesby. You think I'm some AI replication?"

Of all the complaints they're likely fielding currently, that will not rank highly on their list for sure.

Awww, except I don't need to provide "supporting evidence' to some clown on the internet for MY OPINION.
You, on the other hand, seem to be making some claims of fact you should probably consider backing up. You're clearly blinded with rage by your hatred of Wu.
