#BackBayWaterfall surprisingly calm this morning. Perhaps it will pick up for the evening commute. #mbta pic.twitter.com/yRzkskMk31

@MBTA this is not rain. This is a leak that has been ongoing for years at Revere beach station that worsens during poor weather. pic.twitter.com/ejVfwZC7re

What happens when you combine
What happens when you combine world class engineers with high quality union labor and expert construction project management & maintenance by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?
Ladies, gentlemen, non binaries, otherkin, trolls, cats, dogs and radical indigenous fowl..... I give you the MBTA!
Black Mold
The leaks and condensation will lead to black mold in the stations. Not a safe way to spend your day working or commuting.
More Leaks
The World Trade Center Station on the Silver Line has a continuing leak. The solution seems to be a trash barrel, Speedy-Dry, and a broom. Judging by the rust, it's been leaking for years.
Ditto for Courthouse Station
The MBTA even removed portions of the wall and ceiling paneling where there was obvious rust and water damage. These have been left open and untouched going on three years now.
Permanent puddles
Charlie Faker's T doesn't care.
There are and have been for a long time permanent puddles at Shawmut, JFK, DTX , and Central. Sometimes the puddles are decorated with festive orange cones.
And right on cue
Come the local TV stations looking for some free cool footage, with no intention of ever paying attention to the horrible conditions in the MBTA system or the complete lack of interest by our elected officials.
And buses
It was raining inside my bus today too.
