Wonderful interaction on T (sh.itjust.works)

The T can be… well the way the T is, but today I had such a nice interaction with one of the bus drivers! I was running late on my daily commute and was a full block away from the bus stop when I saw the bus approaching. There was no chance I was making it, even at a full out sprint, so I was accepting my fate of having to take my alternate route as the bus drove by, but the driver honked to ask if I was getting on! He recognized me and let me board at not even a little bit the bus stop! I am so touched and can’t stop smiling at the driver’s kindness.

Why do people from Stoneham merge on to I-93 at 25 mph? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I just moved here from FL and this seems insane to me. Is this normal? They're going to get someone killed, the limit is 65 mph at that ramp. I wish it was like a one time thing but it's like every 3rd day I get stuck behind a different car that merges below 30 mph and then eventually will get up to speed a couple of miles down the road. Am I crazy?
