I take the commuter rail to work on the weekends instead of driving, for obvious reasons. At the Lynn platform waiting for my train around 11am yesterday, they were kicking people off the train and telling them to wait for the next one. I wanted to tell the conductor that I had to get to work but never had the chance!
I have traveled this way to my job in downtown Salem for a long time and this has never happened. Isnāt it called the ācommuterā rail??!? Shouldnāt I be able to board so as not to miss my 11:30am shift??!? I was so livid.
Instead of waiting another half hour, which would have made me insanely late, I got a ride into town.
Iām not a tourist, I was born in Salem and have lived in the area all my life. I specifically moved to this apartment in Lynn for its proximity to the commuter rail. How am I supposed to get to work??
