The last time, both my husband and I emailed after our bus driver nearly killed a passenger who was trying to exit the bus via the back door. The driver, without looking in his mirror, opened and closed the back door so fast that, as the passenger tried to step out, the doors snapped shut on her and trapped her. The driver hit the gas, and everyone started screaming for him to stop -- once he'd stopped and opened the doors again, he never even looked or asked if the passenger was hurt. He just acted like nothing had happened at all. I’ve emailed the T with complaints a few times, and gotten a form letter back.

We heard about your incident on the T and were hoping you could speak to us in person about it. A bundt cake would be prepared for compensation. Have your people get in touch with my people.

We've posted your full text at badtransit with a link back to this web site. For a moment I thought that "shit's broken" came from one of the MBTA types, which would have certainly been a classic touch. "Watch the doors"? More like "Grip a pole and just hold on". Regarding notifying the T with an email, you write: >>The best part is i wanted to send >>one, but their brand new webpage >>isn’t loading That's $400,000 + for a new web site, and $0 for a door and an emergency call button.

And I have never gotten a response. The T is NOT going to do anything or acknowledge any failure or shortcoming. I suggest copying this to the Badtransit website and any other paper than the Globe. Why not the Globe? First, since its transit related they will hold it until the Starts and Stops column is scheduled (two weeks), and then MacDaniel is nothing but a apologist for the MBTA.

Sometimes even a small video camera. It would have been awesome to see footage on the news. …and this is why I’ve started carrying a digital camera with me almost everywhere I go.
