Everyone knows that any lowlife who isn't tucked into their bed by the time that nice Leno man comes on deserves to be stranded where ever they are. Also mugged, maimed, or murdered. C'mon folks, it's just common sense.

Luckily, I just make it home from my second job at one of Boston's glorious theaters before that nice Leno man comes on. No change for Malden needed. It doen't matter what time of day or night for crime. However, more frequent runs on Sunday of the 108 or 106 would be better.

Iv'e heard people getting street robbed in the daytime on my scanner.

I hope the MBTA stations some police here as I rarely see any and think the train stations have some scary folks hanging around them.

Why not make it 24 hour service so the drunks and the low-life who rides the T at 1 am doesn't need to worry about getting back home by am, I mean 2 am.

I don't think it's going to happen, and it's because of comments like the ones above. For some reason, it's not okay to have a social life that involves being home after midnight.

I mean, the lot of you aren't okay with DUI checkpoints, but you're okay with cutting off bus/train service early in the evening. This isn't 1950, we're not in the Puritan era anymore.

Why not at least try it. All nite would be the best. If we get more resturants and clubs here it will add to bussiness. But the Malden Police has allways been the first responders at a MBTA issue the T police should be doing their job here in Malden or Malden should be charging the police everytime they answer a T call.

Paul: I think you missed the sarcasm in Diana's statement. It's not only drunks that are out after midnight. It is those who serve the drunks and their friends who are forced to drive into the city and pay the ridiculous parking fees. If the trains ran longer you would eliminate a lot of the traffic and limit the emissions from this traffic. Yes, the drunks would be on the trains yet they would have a chance to sober up a little while someone else is doing the driving. I ride the train late at night and most of the people I see are working people like myself.

Mike G when I go out socializing Im not going to be home by midnite. Not into turning into a pumpkin thing. Its 2 -3 AM or more. Dont forget you got to get your DD time in too. Ya never know till you try. Im for it.

I dont drink but I get sick of being the designated driver I always get puked on. Last time I was I told everyone if ya got to puke out the window. Well it happened and it splatered the winshield of the guy in back and he wanted to kill me. Ill take the T anytime.

Finally, Mr. Mokal...you and I actually agree on something

Mike G, let me have my cake, and eat it too, please :)

Sorry Paul, you're gonna have to admit that you agreed with something Diana said. It's okay, I know you've got it in you, and you can still eat cake. :)

Nothin worse than being on the Meat Train at rush hour and someone violently upchucks,then there is no escape and the next thing ya know 4 or 5 or more gets sick too. Or maybe you set down in the seat and you find out your sitting in a lake.
