Escape From MBTA--The Photo That Says It All

Photographer and blogger Lolita Parker Jr. was on the scene when fed-up and overheated MBTA passengers broke out of a Red Line train stuck on the Longfellow Bridge during Friday's Park Street Station fire. The following image says a lot of good about Bostonians helping each other.

It doesn't say as much about the T, which has some 'splainin' to do.

I see one Bostonian helping another Bostonian. In the same photo I see three other people (including the train conductor) doing NOTHING. And I see another guy in a car who is clearly aggravated that these people are blocking him.

Yes, you're right - this is a perfect example of how unhelpful Bostonians are.

Note the 01879 number on the side of the filthy train.

This is a date code.
