Is "One Hundred Years Young" as of today.
The rat infested sumbitch makes me late for dinner on a regular basis.
It is filthy...
The PA systems literally vary in functionality from car to car.
You get me home in about the same amount of time it took my father to commute from Government Center in 1966, this you regard as a sort of triumph over adversity.
The damn thing desperately needs a maintenance upgrade, both the rolling stock and the tunnels themselves as well as the switching system.
One does not exit the parking garage at Alewife Station, one competes one's sentence and is tardily sent out into the world.
It has compelled me to walk from South Station to Central Square on one memorable occasion and lesser strolls at various times.
It keeps the cab companies very much in the black.
Ghod help the Red Line commuter on the day after a blizzard, a medieval oxcart would be a surer mode of transport.
But what the hell, without it, I'd be digging ditches on Mount Gilboa in Arlington, and all those delays have proved a heaven sent change to get caught up on my reading.
So Happy Birthday Red Line...yer a dirty swine but you are all I have to get to and fro my phony baloney job.
I may not love you, but I'll still be there for you long after everyone else has taken to hang-gliding to work or flipped over to some sort of sail powered skatboard hybrid.
