Around 4:30 a.m., That Red Hair Girl tweeted:
Was anyone else in Allston just violently awoken by what sounded like the scariest crash of all time on Comm Ave. near Griggs?
Mozendo reports:
Saw a car crash moments ago in Allston. Not sure if the guy was speeding or his brake wouldn't work. I saw the whole thing. I'm surprised he didn't get hurt. He was speeding down Allston (from BC) and swerved front of the Long Ave T stop where he crashed.

if they synced up all the lights to give priority to the trolley, the B line might run in the same time it used to, before "front-door-exit-only!"
And if the T ran the same number of trains

on the B line that they did before the "front door exit only" days, if would run just as fast without the need for signal priority. Eliminating the "artifical holds" at Kenmore and Park Street would also help.

Imagine if they improved the traffic lights *and* the fare collection system. You could get from BC to Kenmore in like 15 minutes!
And imagine if they installed a Hyperloop

You could get from BC to Kenmore in 2 seconds.
Well, plus 15 minutes to allow for all the BU stops ...

Wow I thought I was imagining things this morning when I heard this from a few blocks away. Glad to hear no one was hurt!
