Yup
I was on that train, then went over to park to catch a green instead. Which also waited for about 10 minutes before departure. Then my bus got stuck behind a private shuttle that tried to pull a uey on Huntington - it eventually made it out after stopping all WB traffic for about five minutes... Then a car is parked in the bus stop, as per usual.
Not a good transit night.
Shuttles the next several weekends
Upcoming Bustitution Shuttles:
Ruggles to Tufts - Track Work
