?Boston Globe reporter Mac Daniel told his readers on May 26 the T has
fined the contractor that operates commuter rail for the agency, the
Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Co., a total of $250,000 since
January, for shortcomings in service. About 75 percent of the fines
were for late trains and a lack of cars on popular lines at peak
times, T officials said.
?It was so packed that people were screaming to people in the middle
of the train to move in,? said Tara Gibbs of Grafton, a passenger on
the 4:58 train to Worcester out of South Station, which normally has
five double-decker cars but Monday night had only three, a loss of
about 245 seats. ?It?s unbelievable,? she said.?
