Nice day for fare increases and a new operator, but you can't blame this on the T: Around 6:15 a.m., the driver of a lobster truck managed to wedge his truck firmly into the train bridge at East Street and Carroll Avenue, just before the Islington stop. All sorts of delays on the inbound Franklin Line, of course.
There are also delays on the Providence/Stoughton Line.

What better way to welcome Keolis to Massachusetts than a truck full of lobster taking out one of the rail lines for the morning rush.

Monthly occurrence T has budgeted a fix. In 1966 a frozen fish truck did it, abutters were eating lobster for a month

May be a new operator, but Keolis seems to have adopted the same old policy. The circular argument that the Fairmount/Readville train is constantly cancelled because it has the lowest ridership ... but in order to build ridership, you have to have a regularly running train, The Fairmount train is cancelled, every other day, and late, every day. Meanwhile, those of us who depend on it end up with 4 hour daily commutes.
Keolis has been in operation less than two

full days. So, I believe that stating that Keolis "constantly cancels" a service is a bit premature at this point.
Not surprising

The signs on Route 1A advising trucks not to turn onto East Street are about the size of No Parking signs (i.e. very small)
And not stating the actual clearance on the bridge doesn't help matters either.
