[tei-council] TE Council Meeting in April.

[Mylonas, Elli]

Hi Lou, yes, Amtrak runs on the same lines and goes to the same stations as
MBTA. It stops fewer times, but costs more, us locals don't ride it for
such a short distance. Doesn't help that the one time I thought I was going
to be efficient and return in time for a meeting never mind the cost, the
train was 3 hours late (40 minute ride) because someone threw themselves in
front of it half way there...

But the T has gaps in the middle of the day.

Looking forward to seeing you all here, some logistics will be following
soon.
