3.5 hours from Park st. to home.
Fuck the MBTA.

oh :( i forgotted you guys would be needing to deal with the red line. suck.

SO HORRIBLES.

I tried to take one of my regular busses, but they were overwhelmed by subway run off.

Then I tried taxiing and all the cabs in the area were taken up by people going "oh FFS."

I ended up trying to wait out the cluster fuck by eating dinner, and when the MBTA was still awful at 8pm I managed to score a cab.

UGH.

oh good god!! What was going on tonight?

Second night in a row!

Consider: if every T passenger who got stranded or massively delayed because of poor maintenance, sparse routes (where they miss some runs), and so on, called their state legislators the next day and said "please raise our income tax, and fund the T to the same extent we fund the roads", this would happen so much less. Wanna join me and do that?

It was pretty awful -- took me about 2 hours from Charles MGH to North Cambridge, a trip that's normally 30 to 40 minutes.

It took me an hour to get from Harvard Square to Shepard Street off Mass Ave (in the car) after picking up our farm share.

I'm sorry for your ordeal. :(

WOW.

That is HORRIBLE. Wow.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. I found out about the delay and hopped on the green line, then THAT had a disabled train, so we (my coworker and I) went and got a beer, then got to Lechmere, then waited for a bus, for..20-30min. I didn't get to Davis until damn near 8pm. Sorry you had the same experience =(

it's a damned good thing i got a ride to the airport rather than taking the red line to the silver line...!

:( Talk about major suckage.

only because it was suggested to me not too long ago: if the Red Line has major suckage (and you find out about it in time), get youself to North Station on the Orange Line and take the Fitchburg Commuter Rail line to Porter Square.

i did that Monday and Tuesday this week and it saved my sanity, even though i had to buy two MBTA fares to do it (the CR fare for Zone 1A is an additional $1.70, cash only at the ticket window in the station, no CharlieCards accepted)
