![Red Line pokeball sculpture in downtown Boston](https://www.universalhub.com/files/styles/main_image/public/images/2015/redpokeball.jpg?itok=NhU7DQ52)
Flea took a look at one of the new sculptures outside 100 High St. - just down the street from the MBTA's main operations center.
The Red Line poké ball and a similar Green Monster ball are the work of sculptor Lars-Erik Fisk, who loves him some spherical art (more examples).

Good to see some new T
Good to see some new T equipment...... beginning this week the DC Metro began putting in service the first of over 200 new cars they ordered.......... the cars were ordered 5 years ago; also the Metro started returning to automated operation; the trains run themselves the operator is there to open and close the doors.
Anyone for some T-ball?
I've actually had the thought pop into my head that traveling in a Pokeball would be preferable to traveling by T at times.
Seems unrealistic, I mean

"Open the pod bay doors, HAL."
Can't believe I got to get that in before anyone else.

Sure that's not the robot from the new Star Wars trailer...?
Perhaps it's the T's new
mascot for the Charlie Card system.
Adorable!
Anyone else think the MBTA
Anyone else think the MBTA should pay Ellen McLain (the voice of GLaDOS) to do all the automated MBTA announcements?
At the end of your commute
There will be cake.

The cake is a lie.
Many shiny spheres to choose from
For some reason these shiny mechanical spheres were the first to come to mind for me.
reminds me
of the old Wildcat gondola cars

looks like a vehicle from Super Monkey Ball video game
Finally the T has something
Finally the T has something they can keep rolling
Do they still have the Big Red (nearly seatless) cars?
If so, that must be their little brother...
