"Just another day on the Red Line," Kate O'Toole reports as she watches the hordes at JFK/UMass after everybody was ordered off an inbound train that had just decided life to give up the ghost.
If there's one nexus of places and events that is the least sucky, an inbound train dying at JFK/UMASS is the best of the worst. I mean, there is a separate inbound platform with trains that are not affected by the breakdown and there is a track to shunt the dead train to nearby (along with of course the maintenance facilities.)
Still, It's gotta suck for the Quincy/Braintree people behind this train.

It really is a no-brainer.

Faster and cheaper than the T too. Plus, you always get a seat.
I'll say this much
