Rides: Green Line | Fitchburg Line
Growing up in Central Mass, taking the T was always the easiest way to visit Boston. My family and I either took the Commuter Rail from Fitchburg or drove to Alewife and took the Red Line. Now, I don’t own a car and completely rely on the T.
I have lived on different segments of the Green Line for 5 years now, and weekend diversions and shuttle buses have been a constant battle for me. Service shutdowns have made it significantly harder for me to get to work, class, and to visit my family.
However, these shutdowns inspired me to find a way to get involved in improving the T. Above all, I want to restore confidence in our transit system. I want the T to be something that people want to ride, not have to ride because driving is worse!
Outside of work, I’m a photographer specializing in black-and-white film photography, and I also organize a book club.
