@MBTA The bus came (After an over 30 minute wait), but there were so many people waiting that the bus was packed and still had to leave many people behind

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Are there any service disruptions for the 47 bus? The scheduled time came and went many times over and the stop is getting extremely crowded.

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Inbound at the very first stop on Green St. Thank you

@PunGridDoc @fiagirly The straight zones don't affect overtaking. Everyone had access to them always. They just increase the efficiency of all the cars by allowing them to run higher downforce in corners without getting draggy on the straights.

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Thank you!

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Currently on a train that's stopped and we have idea what the conductor is saying to update us. Either the loudspeakers on car 1830 are broken or the mic at the front of the train

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA We were just told that red line trains will not be going past Harvard because of technical problems at Alewife. What on earth are you talking about?

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA This is not true. We have been stuck at central without moving for over 25 minutes

@f1visualized Another testing day with AM getting the least mileage 😬

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@emilysweeney @himitsucb @MBTA @BostonGlobe Absolutely. It looks like the storm exposed some very fundamental problems with either the trains or the system. The end of day commute also featured disabled trains, angry crowds, trains suddenly leaving service, and 30+ minute waits. Feel free to DM if you want more details

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@emilysweeney @MBTA @BostonGlobe Absolutely. Go ahead

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Update: After over 2 hours of commuting, I've made it back onto a train. (Physical altercations are breaking out from crowding) Many are still on the Kendall/MIT Platform waiting over 90 minutes to get onto a train

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Update, next train is also at capacity and was running several blacked out cars. Overall wait will now is over 75 minutes in Sub-Zero temps and dangerous crowd crush.

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA URGENT: The situation at the Kendall/MIT Station is getting dangerous. With the amount of people on the slippery platform, people are struggling to not fall onto the tracks

[Valentin Frank @Valunetta94]

@MBTA Are you responding to platforms looking like this by running 4-car trains every 10-15 minutes during the height of rush hour?
