The green line gets all the press.

The stale squeezed orange line? Nobody cares. At rush hour, morning and evening, trains are late, too crowded to get onto, and half the cars lack the power for ventilation and lighting.

The Orange Line has indeed been sucking even more than usual.

Last night something very strange happened, a little old guy wearing MBTA clothing, walked to the south edge of the Haymarket inbound platform (no train had come in either direction for ages) and peered down the track (as if looking for a train that had already departed the station). Then, he wlaked back to wherever he had come from. No announcements at Haymarket about what was going on, of course.
