More pantograph woes are no longer surprising: Parts of the Green Line are dead, T is advising

Hey, remember back in the day when the Green Line kept having embarrassing pantograph problems, and the T said in one case it was because the line was too new and in other cases it was because the lines were too old? And then the T promised it was doing stuff to fix the problems?
Yeah, good times. The T reports it's running shuttle buses instead of trolleys along the C and D lines because of a new pantograph problem at Kenmore Square.

MBTA trash at rush hour
Live reporting from Copely: MBTA workers clueless, and either saying that the trains are running fine or to try and get on a jam-packed B line train (the driver of which train is saying no, no one else can fit on) to get to Kenmore where maybe a shuttle will turn up at some point.
But that's OK, cause if you leave the ever more crowded platform to try and get a bus ....that also just doesn't turn up (#39 looking at you).
The MBTA is trash. Literally either on fire or just falling to pieces. Someone should be jailed for this level of financial/institutional mismanagement.
Ridership is down sixty percent since the Pandemic
Pretty soon it will be down seventy percent do to incompetence.
Pantograph issue ...
this year's switching problem.
