Dog says this is fine: It's not the heat, it's the Green Line

The Green Line is hosed: "Severe" delays between Park and Kenmore due to signal problems. Riders reporting 30-minute waits - when they can get on a train at all. Power seems to be just draining into a black hole at Copley. Uber went into surge-pricing mode as complete strangers banded together to grab one.

Switch issues already....90+ degrees at 5pm,.....what can possibly go wrong on the evening commute?
Even before I heard the "severe delays" announcement
I knew there was a serious problem when the board read "E) 4 STOPS AWAY." Took the Orange Line to Tufts Medical instead.
Wow.
I had begun to think that all delays were referred to as moderate delays regardless.
Red Line also Fluxxed
Twelve minute headways at 8:30 am.
I didn't notice what the
I didn't notice what the headways were but it was a solid 50 minutes to Downtown from Alewife at 7:30 this morning. I can't wait for this afternoon.
Example A
One of the many reasons why housing prices are skyrocketing in the city.
If you can't walk to work
If you can't walk to work odds are you ain't gettin' there!
Heh
I know busses are dirty heathens, but they work quite a bit better when the trains aren't running. Plus there's taxi's, Uber, and easier car pooling.
Plus an hour on a subway / train is still better than three to get North / South / West while dealing with the same delays.
what's the...
physics behind this, Kenneth?
Kenneth??
I was on the C line stuck
I was on the C line stuck between Hawes and St. Mary's for about 15 minutes before the driver just opened the door and started letting people off between the two stops. I ended up walking from there to Arlington, because I figured it would be faster than the train.
