oh that poor man. I hope.. HOPE no one had urinated in it recently.

I'm not kidding folks, some of these elevators literally smell worse than a port-a-toilet at Burning Man sometimes.

Do you have a list of locations that don't pass your smell test?

Take the hint and open more public restrooms in stations!

Access to restrooms should be considered an ADA stipulation.

Man's best friend can get the job done.
They are trained to smell other items: explosives, guns, drugs, human scent.... so why not just hire some dogs to sniff around like they do naturally.

It would not take much to train them to track down the stench of fresh or stale urine.

There is a Transit Police hub at the station. If it takes 40 minutes to rescue a passenger stuck in an elevator that reeks of urine how long would it take for them to respond if you were getting robbed or groped?

An MBTA spokesman said the elevators are performing better than they have for years, and Governor Baker has scheduled a ribbon-cutting and photo-op for when the new elevator opens next week, so I really fail to see what this guy is complaining about

My elevator was working fine, but we were stuck behind his.

If I was stuck in an elevator, (which has not happened yet.)

I would wait 15 - FIFTEEN MINUTES!,

I would be calling on God first, then call 911!!
