Dear MBTA,
Please instruct your conductors on the red line to travel faster than 3mph across the Longfellow Bridge. Most of us (your passengers) are well-read enough to realize that the Longfellow Bridge is a rusting metal hulk that is in dangerous need of repair. The quicker we can get across that span, the better. And, as wild and cool as being involved in an incident where our subway car falls through the tracks and into the Charles River below seems, I’d much rather not have to force my way out of a sinking metal tomb before it hits the bottom of a mucky, polluted river.
Besides, I’d ruin my shoes, and I kind of like these shoes (thanks Mom!).
Sincerely,
Your Loyal T Riders
