How to navigate the latest MBTA Green Line closures

How will the Green Line closures impact you?

Knowing the T, I'm actually kind of impressed they can shutdown this enormous amount of track for just 9 days and hopefully lift the speed restrictions are do a ton of other work. When they shut down the Ashmont and Mattapan lines for two weeks and lifted ALL the slowzones, that gave me a lot of hope that the T can actually get things done reasonably and quickly.

What I'm hearing from this newspiece is: 1. They're rapidly fixing this leg of the green line in just 1 week, making it minimally disruptive 2. They're offering bus route alternatives to further mitigate the inconvenience 3. These repairs were scheduled but long overdue, so no one should be surprised 4. Once its done the green line will operate faster and more reliably than before So I really don't understand what the big deal is. If anyone's angry about the price, maybe they should stop blaming the MBTA and start blaming the decisions from decades prior to siphon billions away from public transit to fund the Big Dig. Even with current ridership numbers, the MBTA is the single most important piece of transportation infrastructure for the city. Imagine all of those riders commuting in their own individual cars instead. It would be gridlock chaos. Everyone should be rooting for them to succeed. We should be throwing money at them to get this work done, because we've already spent decades underfunding the system and now we're dealing with the consequences.

Get a bicycle then. The C line was as slow as you could get from Brighton to downtown anyway.
