What else could go wrong on the T? How about all the fare-card machines going on the fritz?

The MBTA reports:

Earlier tonight, the MBTA experienced a power outage that caused a systemwide disruption to credit & debit card processing at fare vending machines. The power issue has been resolved & all fare vending machines are now functioning properly. We apologize for any inconveniences.

With all that has befallen the T of late, is it possible it's sabotage and not just fate.

No need to ascribe malice when the T has more than enough incompetence to go around.

Why would anyone go to the trouble of sabotaging a system that terrorizes itself on a daily basis?

Ever heard of cyberattacks?

I do believe that they are all still running on Windows XP.

I take the T to and from work 2-3 times per week, so it makes the most sense for me to refill my Charlie Card periodically, as opposed to a monthly pass. These new machines are WILDLY inconsistent in processing credit and debit purchases. It typically takes me no less than 3 attempts to load money on to my card. The touch screens are also notably losing their functionality.

Another corner cut by the MBTA.

Please stop asking that question.

It does seem like a Tag and Bink sort of thing.
