Green Line- E

It’s a train. Some are run down, but they don’t smell like piss, so that’s a plus, right?
I’m new here. I gets me where I need to go, when I need to go.
I ain’t got no complaints. Alas…
Winter is coming.

E Line, you’re bringing me down.
I’ve lived at both ends of the ol’ Heath St-​VA Medical Center/​Lechmere trolley, and both ends are a royal pain. The trains come much less frequently than other lines, and the station managers may or may not seem like they have completely given up. Maybe they’re being punished for doing something bad, and that’s why they’re so crabby and uncommunicative.
Of late, I take the train from and to Lechmere fairly often. Leaving from Lechmere is worse than Government Center in terms of safe standing options. There’s no space at this station, and then, of course, the train rings the bell really loudly at you to back up, as if there were somewhere for you to back your caboose up to.
Like all green lines, there are no arrival/​departure estimates, which is all the more frustrating during rush hour when over 100 people are waiting around in no-man’s land.
If there were a better option, I’d take it in a heartbeat. Grumble grumble grumble.

Worst out of all the lines on the MBTA tracks. Not much space because it’s not as expansive as the other rails so it can get pretty tight. But of course. it serves its purposes and gets you where you need to go so can’t complain.

All of the above. So close to home. But the Brigham reroutes kill me. And you keep crashing in the middle of the day. And what gives with the signs posted saying no more evening or weekend E line at Heath, but then you go and run anyway?

Dear E-​line,
I love that you are a 5 minute walk from my apartment and never crowded. But why, why must you re-​route at Brigham Circle!!! We are literally 3 stops from my house and you frickin’ change direction! And then I must decide if I should wait for the 39 bus or the next train. Or suck it up and walk 20 minutes home with my heavy school bag. And those times that you took an hour to reach Haymarket? You’re playing with my heart. I wish I could quit you.

Here’s my beef with the E Line (yeah, I said ‘beef’). They don’t come as often as they need to. When waiting at Park, there always seem to be three Bs, and two Cs and Ds for every ONE E. VERY frustrating when running late to class — and the reason I usually take the #47 from Central.
Otherwise, it’s just the usual Green Line issues — always delayed, cars tend to be ancient and rusting, it jerks so it’s nearly impossible to not give that creepy dude a lapdance, etc.

I love it because it stops less then a 100 steps from my front door.
I hate it because it only comes when it feels like it.
