2-for-4. Now all we need is a power failure on the Blue line and a busted Green line train just inside Copley and we'll have the city's rapid transit paralyzed.
Buses! Buses everywhere!
Power on the Blue Line

Dead Green Line train
Just not at Copley.
Firetrucks and ambulance I get, but ...
Why is there a trolley bus outside State Street in this photo?
I was there...
