Green Line not fine
By adamg on Tue, 08/25/2020 - 9:34am
The T is currently busing Green Line passengers between Kenmore and Park due to what it calls "a power problem."
Earlier in the morning, Orange Line riders got to experience delays due to a dead train, which lead to un-social distancing on the remaining trains.

The MBTA is not fine
Billions in debt and deep regret. Could be worse in New York vandals have smashed hundreds of train windows and the MTA is running out of windows. I have no idea if the MBTA is experiencing the same vandalism issues. T Management will deny any delays do to vandalism.
Outbound from Kenmore
To make things extra special, the outbound train I'm on arrived with the signs off-so passengers had to decipher nearly inaudible announcements to know if they were getting on the correct line. B line is delayed 20+ minutes, why can't they run shuttle buses outbound from Kenmore?
On the plus side, it's a free ride....
Overcrowding on the T during a pandemic
Breakdowns, delays, bustitutions or otherwise, the T should NOT be allowing this consistent overcrowding. I have seen it myself on the Blue Line and have exited the train as a result. Isn't there anybody to crack down on this danger? Way back at the beginning didn't the T say they would be monitoring the number of people allowed on trains and buses?
There is no reason to trust or believe the T
All of the T pronouncements about masks, social distancing, spacing of trains and buses, and monitoring the number of people on a train or bus are propaganda. It is apparent that there is no plan in place to actually make any of these things happen, especially when a train or bus breaks down, or when there is a surge in ridership. If I am wrong , and there is a plan, then there certainly is not the capability in place to make the plan work
