Orange Line riders not looking for frills; just want trains that don't die at Forest Hills

By adamg on Fri, 01/22/2016 - 9:20am

Only when wondering if the Orange Line will get me to work on time ...

Forest Hills became the end of the line in more ways than one for one Orange Line train. Also, a Mattapan trolley exhaled its last at Ashmont. The T reports both lines are now moving again.

I decided that the words "Attention Orange Line Passengers," are the worst words in the English Language. :(

each morning this week a disabled train and three times on the way home. All delayed. SO much for maintenance./

Silver Sloths for everyone!

Don't worry, didnt you hear Bakers state of the state address last night? He's on it! Mattapan Line is first, but don't worry. Soon, maybe orange line riders will stop having to take those old broken down trains, and get shiny new buses, painted silver or some other color denoting speed. Silver Sloths for everyone!*
* Except the suburbs, they get to keep the ever expanding commuter rail trains. In fact, these tweaks like replacing the Mattapan trains with buses may free up some money for ol Baker to invest more in the commuter rail!

Um

Not to get in the way of a rant, but you do realize that orders are in for replacement cars on 3 of the 4 subway lines, the fourth line having cars less than 10 years old.
