Think the new T general manager will get a honeymoon before we start pining for the good old days - like today?

The Blue Line ran out of juice around 5:30 p.m., just in time for the afternoon rush.

Don't Remind Me
I got on the blue line at Gov't Center. Driver of the car said "We'll be standing by indefinitely". So I fired up my SeeSay App and looked. This is what it said..
"Blue Line is experiencing delays in excess of 30 minutes due to a wire problem at Airport Station."
Really? 30 minutes, and the driver couldn't tell us that? People thanked me as I walked away saying "I'd see another route.." and repeat what the T Alert said.
I did let a inspector on the green line upstairs know that they really should tell folks this...
Gave up and coughed up the $10
for the water taxi ride over to Eastie after waiting 30 minutes with no usable info. Looks like by next summer I will have a cheaper water option:

Babies crying .. people smelling...
not the ideal commute home...
I hope tonights commute goes better. We really dont have another option other then paying jacked up cab fee's!
I hope the ferry service to mavrick does pan out.
I want a refund for my T ride last night!
Secession
I'm more than slightly serious about this. If the non-T-using part of the State doesn't want the State to subsidize the T, then the T part of the state should secede. See how they like losing all the auto and other transportation system funding we in Metro Boston subsidize. Also, more senators!
