Transit Police report arresting the 29-year-old driver of a Toyota they say turned onto the inbound Green Line tracks at Brigham Circle around 3 a.m. and then didn't get very far and remained on scene so that officers could determine enough signs of intoxication to warrant an OUI arrest.

This was a week after another Toyota driver allegedly did the same basic thing on the Green Line at Coolidge Corner.

Perhaps if cars were required to also have train wheels as a backup, these situations would clear up much more quickly.

The DUI traps are working!

At least these incidents didn't interfere with green line service.

Couple of drunks off the road, too.

Maybe we should have decoy tracks near drinking districts?
