MBTA adventures

I rode this same route when I was a kid 55 years ago and took this exact trolley

This driver honored my #atu757 card as fare! But he’s not an MBTA employee this route is contracted out! He makes $19/hr! That’s 1/2 as much as a full wage MBTA employee! pic.twitter.com/XwiNxvgdzb

This driver gets 1 FULL HOUR break. The rest of the time it’s back and forth

There’s 15 people on this bus. Interestingly I’m the only white guy(other than the driver that is)

That's great to hear, Al! Thanks for taking the time to let us know. We'll be sure to commend the operator.
