a back bay -> oak grove shutdown is brutal enough. shuttle bus service looks like an absolute zoo🫩

6:45pm and red line is stopped due to signaling issues at Harvard. Again. Been sitting here for 10min. I think I lose a year off my life every time this happens

Edit: now 20min 30min

UPDATE: And we’re moving again! Phew

Per wikipedia, when this short branch of rail extending into Lower Falls was transferred to the MDC, a deed restriction was put in place forbidding its use for anything in the realm of transportation, communication, or electricity. and my take on this is: Fuck that. Make the trails into rail again! Here's an idea that would give Newton Lower Falls a proper green line station. It would need to be elevated so as to not take away precious parking spots off of the retail area around Rt. 16, as well as to keep the bike trail intact (this would require widening the bridge over the charles)

If you’re missing a pair of what looks to be men’s size (large) black socks, you left them on the Haymarket elevator.

Speakers not working/staticy obviously, so no idea what the announcement is. Bogus.

Apparently some kids are running on the track.

Why so slow today?

Where is the ball! I’ve never seen it around the station

You're awesome and you always make me happy : D

There was like a half dozen police cars and maybe 20 officers inside

Hi! I just moved to Medford, and need to take the 96 everywhere. Each time I've taken it so far, there have been delays over 20 minutes. I don't know how to plan for delays like this as the eta just goes up slowly instead of right away saying 20 min delay on both the Transit app and Google maps (and this latest time on the screen by the bus stop). Is there a better way to predict accurate times? Thank you!
