You might want to upgrade to one of the newer ones that has more than VGA graphics - you'd see him punching a ticket as the riders are singing to him.

I was on this train (7:40pm to Newburyport) and he collected all fares once the singing was over.
The man in the blue shirt on the left side of the video was the one who let us know it was the conductor's birthday. He even had a gift for the guy.

Hedlund is introducing a bill to the legislature to properly fund the MBTA? No?
Sounds like Hedlund is the one posturing and posing and whining about not getting special exposure if he has no firm plans to address the central problem of the T.
Isn't that sweet!
