Decided to take the orange line today after a long time. The train just stops at the station for 10+ minutes. It happened twice in a five stop train ride I needed to make. Can someone explain to me why this happening? Will the situation ever improve??

Other than draft kings, the single most covered item on the news and here is the MBTA slow zones, signal issues, and the push to make things better. They just hired a new GM that has been covered several times already just in the last few days. How is it possible you have missed all of this????

Draft Kings should allow us to bet on when we'll get to our destination. Put that money into fixing the T.

Lol they would make no money cuz everyone is taking the over

Or they try to make money by aiming for the under and derail somewhere

It’s because I finally decided to physically fight the guy calling his 5 girl friends back to back on speakerphone.

Serious answers... First question, no, no one seems to be able to explain why that's happening. Second question, also no. For why, see answer to the first question.

You’re asking the wrong questions

I have no idea what you're talking about, I've been taking the T for 2 decades and this has never once happened to me or anyone I know
