bobquasit | I am being a pain in the ass (MBCR)

Filed another "concern" with the MBCR today.

Tonight after the outbound Ruggles stop, car #234 of the #715 Franklin train had 21 people standing - including three children.

After the Dedham stop, eight people were still left standing in that car. Other cars on the train were similarly overcrowded, or more so.

As it happens, I checked a random single-level coach on the #619 Needham Heights train which stopped at Ruggles at 4:13 PM. There were eight three-person seats and six two-person seats which were COMPLETELY empty.

I have nothing against the people on the Needham Heights line; I have relatives in Needham. But I have to wonder why the people of the Franklin line are being shortchanged on seating, while other lines seem to have more capacity than they need.

I don't plan to file daily concerns (I suspect they'd like to spamblock me as it is), but 21 standees and three children is just ridiculous.
