Hung out at N Quincy for a good 25 minutes waiting to get back downtown- it only takes two to make my cry, three is just cruel and unusual
It must be the snow causing breakdowns
Can we ask for a more beautiful day than this one???
Why didn't everyone bicycle instead of using the T today?
operational definitions for
minor, moderate and severe delays?
I'm on the consumer surveys list, and each time they ask why I don't take the T to various destinations. I always respond that unless it's over 4 miles, it's faster and more reliable to walk. Anybody else have similar experiences?
The T random excuse generator is preferable to the official T noise, er, service announcements.

I used to live on the 77 route, 5mi between my house and work. I'd walk the route rather than rely on the bus, unless the weather made walking worse than using the T.

Is this the same one that had everything all wonky at 6pm-ish? Or was there yet another train that died?
I tried to ignore the announcement and forget all my sorrows but I think it was a disabled train at Davis then, so that makes 3 in one day. Must be those meddling kids at Harvard or MIT.
Awful service
Delays went through the rush hour yesterday. I walked from South Station to Savin Hill after work again (similar issue happened two weeks ago with a train that broke down at 2 in the afternoon and messed up peoples' commutes home).
