On a snow day the MBTA just failed miserably (for commuters) two rapid transit lines had to shut down with shuttle buses just because of electrical problems at one station.
Single point failure!!!

Brutal morning commute with MBTA red line: delay of 25 mins due to medical emergency at Park St and then a disabled train at Broadway when my train is at Andrew 🙄
The #MBTA closed the central tunnel of the Green Line for most of January to repair tracks and eliminate 16 slow zones.
But riders aren't seeing much of a difference in travel times. Here's why:
I’m amazed how quiet it is on the redline train today (from Kendall - Fields Corner) - no loud music, no one screaming on the phone, no groups loudly chatting or obnoxiously laughing.
New MBTA red line train @ fields corner
Maybe it makes this rainy cold day better because it’s just such a rare thing
#Boston - Should you see a lost cosplayer or otaku struggling with our #MBTA system, trying to get to #PAXEast con at 415 Summer St, approach with a soothing voice, saying 'hello comrade geek, the Silver Line is a bus, yet not a bus.'
If they're already at South Station, let them know that they could walk over Summer Street bridge in about the same time as it would take to figure out the Silver Line. The scenery is better, too. https://east.paxsite.com/

Taking the T today to see whether the shutdown to fix tracks actually works
Especially the slow zones between south station and Andrew, which drove me nuts every time
#LowExpectation though 😅
So the Red Line comes back and the signals go whack
