The crowding so close to the track has always made me a bit uneasy and certain times of the day/night make this unease a lot worse.

This haunts me. My worst fear is human crush. It happened when that man attacked NYC subway riders. Luckily mild injuries but still PANIC. I avoid places that would be crowded enough for crush. But I can’t avoid MBTA. I’ll be haunted for rest of my rides lol.

Yea that's when I bailed. I was up by the yellow line and started having people bump into my back. I had never walked from broadway to my job before but at least I know the route now.

Do they not post the closures at the station the weekend before? They are on the website but I know people shouldn't have to check.
Wouldn't fix anything but at least people could plan ahead

I didnt notice it until the day before but I could have been more proactive in checking I suppose. I normally dont mind having to use the shuttle so I didnt uber but I waited 20 mins for the bus, then another twenty at broadway before I gave up. There was no arrival times on the board either. They should def come more frequently than that when so many people are trying to use it.

Yea I'm not trying to blame people for expecting good transit. But some people will plan to use some other method of transportation if they know in advance.

Its normally not so bad when I have to use the red line shuttles. Maybe it was just a bad day but that broadway situation was a big nope for me lol

I've never had that happen tbh. This closure has been happening at Broadway during the weekends for a while now I think and I've only seen the trains come in on one side.

I was going to run an errand on the red line tomorrow, now I won’t! Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting some inline skates and just grabbing bumpers to get around the city.

Can we also talk about how scary it is when you're getting off the train when this is happening? Reminds me of what happened in South Korea tonight, one person gets panicked in that crowd and everyone will be fucked.
