Action on Earth Day and every day

Long wait after game does disservice to riders

IMAGINE MY concern and dismay at having to wait in line for 40 minutes to catch an outbound subway at the Fenway T stop after the Red Sox game. There was a very long line behind me as I boarded, and I'm sure there were others who waited much longer.

On Earth Day of all days, I would have hoped that the T could provide enough cars and drivers to more expeditiously transport the thousands of fans who chose to use public transportation instead of their cars. Judging from the conversations I heard around me, having to wait so long for a train was a disincentive for many to use public transportation in the future. I hope that the MBTA and other stakeholders can find a solution to this problem, not only for Fenway fans, but to others who reach for the car keys instead of the Charlie card.
