you haven't experienced true pain until you've been stuck behind MULTIPLE Chelsea Street Bridge raisings

Well two people gave it a five star review and wrote “always traffic” and “stuck there for more than 20 minutes,” which leads me to believe they think a 5 star review means something else. So if they were rating accurately hey we maybe looking at the 1.8-2.1 range!

Arrival and Dismissal at Mystic Valley Charter. On top of being a garbage organization they do a terrible job of managing parent traffic and employ some of the most aggressive crossing guards I've ever seen. Of course happens just offset enough from my school schedule to fuck it up M-Th

Not part of my commute, but trying to get down Brighton Ave or Harvard Ave in Allston at any time of day is always a nightmare

I’ll throw my non-driving one out here:

When I ride my bike to work (South End, Mass/Cass) from Porter Square. Half the commute is ok, I ride in protected lanes to the river and then to Mass bridge where I only have to worry about pedestrians.

THEN DOWN MASS AVE from the bridge. Holy shit I almost die 3-4 times every commute.

Going down Lynn Shore Drive (1A), North Shore drivers are insane; no signaling, speeding up to red lights, boldest moves I've ever seen

The first rotary is always a clusterfuck and the second always has idiots from the right lane cut over to continue on Concord. Can’t count the number of times I’ve had to slam my brakes or swerve because of this.

Oh yeah, nothing you can do about that.

We used to take our students to the UN, round trip to New York and back in one day on a bus. Drop kids off in Chelsea around 10:30, heading back to East Boston to my campus and the effing bridge went up.

Closest I've ever come to losing my mind and swearing in front of students

That moment when you look at the sign and it says "next orange line 20+ minutes" which means it is going to be a sardine can when it does arrive and the one following will be another 20 minutes after that one.

Not having a commute but having to be extremely deliberate about having a morning routine otherwise my day is just crap. So I still have to do a 10-15 mins walk. And i make coffee just as a signal that it is work time. And i have to go on a walk after work again to separate evening from work.

The few times a week I do commute, especially on weekends, taking the Williams Tunnel out of Eastie is a fucking nightmare

Waiting for the 1 bus to show up and then squeezing myself onto an uncomfortably full bus or watching the packed bus go by and waiting for the next one.

Neponset Bridge, the light by UMass on Morrissey Boulevard, Old Colony Ave when the fucking Baldors truck blocks an entire lane delivering to Tatte, the light at the end of the W Fourth St bridge with the guy who walks up the middle of the two lanes… more or less all of it.

The rage I feel while waiting for the 39 bus. It's like it can smell your fear. If you ever need to go somewhere urgently, it's gonna make sure it's gonna be late af. It's never on times.

Cell phones. I know people driving would find something else to be distracted by, but holy shit the number of people doing 45 in the left lane on the pike while staring down at their phone is beyond my understanding.

This. I ride SW corridor, then mass Ave into Cambridge. SW corridor is safe, then from Mass@Columbus to the bridge I have to pray. There's always either someone parked in the bike lane, or college students Jay walking, or people turning right onto Boylston with their eyes closed.
