DigBoston interviews an MBTA driver:
In other emergency situations, such as during or after a snowstorm, we take people who need a ride from point A to point B. But now, we are not always transporting essential workers. Maybe first thing in the morning, yes. But then, we are picking up people who are simply reckless or who have nowhere to go. And for this, I am risking my life and those of my family?

What a dick. So you think you can tell when people who are "essential" go to work? I work for a company deemed "essential" and we have plenty of staff that work second (4pm-midnight) and third shifts (midnight-8am), plus an odd shift that works 11am-8pm. People also go out shopping for food or go to doctor's appointments at all hours of the day, not just rush hour. You want these people to have to justify themselves to you to go to work?

I think his comment wasn't towards the people hes driving, more so about most of his passengers being intoxicated and belligerent. That's all that seems to be out there riding around. I haven't seen many doctors or nurses. It's sad because many times if they are really intoxicated Transit needs to come or emts and now they are being put at risk. He wasn't saying everyone of his passengers but most are the issue ones.
