A T worker at Porter Square tells what is really going on

[fenway1912.livejournal.com]

My blog received an email this morning from a T worker. It details the many problems that are going on and that concerns of T workers are being ignored at T Headquarters.

Please spread this letter around as every rider in the system should read it and demand answers.

I'm starting to realize, though only in retrospect, that the T should have made the CharlieTicket and the CharlieCard completely different in apperance and name. Ideally, the slot for the Ticket should have been made narrow enough that the Card would not fit in it.

The T really did have to introduce the Ticket first, because they had to remain compatible with the existing monthly pass system and its swipe-readers until all stations and fareboxes could be converted to Charlie.
