Trains succumb, riders are glum

The evening rush started with a Red Line train dying at South Station around 4:20 p.m., followed by a trolley dying somewhere on the Riverside Line.

Twice-daily mini-poem
Adam, I love that you've worked your way through the easy rhymes and are embarking on an expansive vocabulary journey to continue to tell us that the morning/evening commute is bollocksed, once again.
Might I suggest a future contribution?
Trains kick the bucket, riders say "stuff it"
(I know, I know, not a proper rhyme but maybe someone's grandma reads the site!)
this is just to say
I have elbowed
my way
through the doors
of the train
on which
you were probably
waiting
for a half hour
Forgive me
the platform was
so crowded
and so cold
this is just to say
What a great poem
How about haiku?
Adam? The direction of the trains would be helpful too, please.
Sorry, will be sure to add that in from now on
To be honest, by the time I wrote this, the crisis seemed to have passed, and I was more noting the problems to sort of keep track of all the dying trains out there, but, yes, details count.
Thanks Adam
Keep up the good work.
The crisis doesn't pass quickly my friend
Not at rush hour.
Any info is welcome when dealing with T delays.
Thanks.
Red Lines Dies at 4:20?!
I don't think it died...
Adam I like the rhyming shtick
But you do realize you're going to run out of clever shit to say by weeks end.
You must be new here.
You must be new here.
For the love of all holy
Would love the trains to run on time so we don't hear Adam rhyme.
Rhyming is okay, but I think
Rhyming is okay, but I think it needs to be snappy like a Variety headline. How about:
PM T Delays B/C of DOAs
Zeus riddle me this
Can the Greek Gods please explain what the people in Boston did to make you mad so you gave us the MBTA and this frigid weather? What deal did the russians make to get great weather and trains that work during the Sochi games
Putin extorted them
Even the gods fall in line when the alternative is the gulag.
