The man who never retruned
I found a blog about the T: http://www.badtransit.com/ I have been learning a lot about the whole Charlie business through it. The RFID-bearing Charlie Cards sound cool and I look forward to seeing how they work, but... everything so far as been handled so short-sightedly that I kind of dread it too.
I also imagine I am not the first one to find irony in the fact that this new fare system is named after the tall tale of a man who was so screwed by a crappy mass-transit UI that he could not even figure out how to leave his subway car, and so never saw his home again. I thought the name choice was clever and charming at first but now it just reeks of unfortunate appropriateness.
