Delays up to 50 mins inbound, depending on where you were. Empty express trains skipping minor stations added to the problem.

Perhaps it's more important the union workers get their breaks at the negotiated times than it is to transport the people paying fares.

Is anybody keeping track of how many dead MBTA trains there have been since Aloisi exerted more control over the MBTA by throwing Grabauskas out of the MBTA?

Doesn't "Aloisi" mean "broken down train" in Italian?

based on the number of Green Line alerts I get on an average day, I'd say there's been little change either way (no big improvement, but the problem isn't getting much worse either).

Adam is passing along more of the delay alerts direct to Universal Hub than he was before, which might make it look like there has been a sudden big increase if you weren't already checking T-alerts or the alerts on MBTA.com

Same thing with all the head punching in East Boston. Doesn't mean there isn't an increase, but, yes, I'm definitely more likely to post a dead-trolley report than a few months ago.
