Maybe it's the weather: Three T lines fail together
By adamg on Thu, 08/30/2018 - 8:07pm
UPDATE: The T has closed Maverick and Bowdoin on the Blue Line.
The MBTA reports major delays on the Blue, Green and Orange lines due to "a power outage in the downtown area:"
Trains are standing by or moving slowly until given permission to move.
At 7:30 p.m., Phil reported:
Power just went out at Maverick station. Trains stopped and station went completely black.
At 7:52 p.m., June Politano sighed:
Orange line delayed....stuck at Tufts Med Center for 20 min now. i just wanna get home.

Maybe a better idea
Instead of hauling the new Orange Line car off the trucks and onto tracks that aren't going to work, maybe the trucks can just drive the cars from station to station and people can ride the T that way
Good one, Michael
Good one, Michael
I would laugh but
Unfortunately, this may be the future of the MBTA
Roads and buses to the rescue!
Buses are not dependant on electric service to operate, and don't have surge pricing.
Electric buses do, like those
Electric buses do, like those in Wartertown, Cambridge and South Boston Waterfront.
When did the MBTA go from hybrid to 100% electric?
Hybrid buses still have diesel motors.
Not to mention the Silver Line
through South Boston.
