Government Center just seven years after its like-new re-opening.
The Government Center T station re-opened in 2016 after being shut for two years of extensive renovations and repairs. A roving UHub photographer reports today:
Sometime between yesterday and now the ceiling of the renovated Government Center station fell . Man we paid how much and waited two years for this? Sheesh!

I really hope MBTA

I really hope MBTA contractors who apparently screwed MA taxpayers for years & years are fully prosecuted. A little jail time for some senior execs would send the message we're not messing around now.

What is it Universal Hub Comedy Hour now? You telling jokes now?
Silly poster.. jail time is for peons like us, not for executives who have high powered lawyers who will get jail time reduced to fines.
That exec will be back down in Newport on the country club in no time.
HAHAHAHA

I wouldn't be surprised if something was rotting in the ceiling, because the Gov Cntr Blue Line platform has had an unpleasant smell for the past couple months. Different than the base line unpleasant T station smell. It got so bad that I've been changing my commute so as to avoid the station.
I concur

I've noticed a new smell too, though mostly upstairs. I'm sorry to say that I have assumed it is due to the increasing congregation of people who seem to be living just outside the station.
I go through here around 6 am each weekday, then walk down to state. It's not unusual to see around 20 people wrapped up in blankets at the side and back of the station, and then tucked into buildings along Washington mall. I haven't seen tents yet, but there were a few window-type AC units propped up on crates running at one point.
I noticed the same noxious odor…

…on the Blue Line platform: Strong smell of sulfurous sewerage which seemed to coincide with warmer weather. It was also unusually warm in general downstairs. Recently they’ve seemed to tweak the ventilation both upstairs and downstairs. I haven’t encountered that smell in nearly 2 weeks,
Issues with lobby and green line platform too

Half of the upstairs lobby and the northbound green line platform have been taped off for months too. Unless I missed it, there's been no explanation for it.
Which is why MBTA commuters

Which is why MBTA commuters from the city government avoid this station.
