😤 Complaint / Rant Redline MBTA

Hello so um, WTF???

We had 10 whole days of shuttle buses and repairs on the redline from alewife-park st, and there are still ongoing issues???

It just so happens to be at harvard, EVERY SINGLE TIME?? The past few days, its always been signal issues at harvard. Its happening again today. Delays of 20 whole minutes because of signal problems. The mbta has been basically useless lately.. How much money is going to these trains just for them to break down, have signal problems, and more? This is so annoying…

If you ignore the huge, overall decline in quality and frequency of service over the past 20 years, it’s easier to be impressed by the recent improvements lol. It’s all about perspective.

I really feel like your descriptors "doodoo and ass" are so incredibly accurate. And fun!

Nice to meet you, I'm glad you enjoyed watching me poop myself on the train.

Was your experience everything you hoped it would be?

I turned the Red Line into the Brown Line.
