Bostonherald - A day after authorities said a text-messaging operator caused one Green Line trolley to crash into another, the head of the MBTA’s drivers union announced it would agree to ban drivers carrying cell phones and all other electronic devices while on duty. “This was an individual act… that does not represent 99 percent of my members,” MacDougall said.

People need to relax regarding the Green Line crash yesterday. Like the MBTA said 99% of their drivers don’t text while on the job and I believe them. Because how else would they be able to stuff their face with popcorn while driving if they are simultaneously texting? It’s impossible unless you got like an extra hand or something. So like I said people just need to relax because we’re in good hands with the MBTA.
