Paywall. Does it say why they pulled them? So lame.

Despite pleas for information from Orange Line riders on its social media pages during Thursday and Friday morning rush hours, the agency offered no explanation.

Several hours after an inquiry from the Globe on Friday, MBTA spokesperson Lisa Battiston published a statement saying that the T had found a “failure in a power cable that may have created some electrical arcing with a nearby train axle” on one of the Orange Line cars during a recent inspection. Further inspections found the issue on nine cars.

I somehow have a 20 minute Forest Hills wait time at Malden Center even though an Oak Grove train is rolling in rn. I think (or at least hope) the wait times are bugged

Yeah I'm on a train now, but it's held for a schedule adjustment. Something is fucked somewhere!

So it dropped to 17 minutes after that train left. Now it's back to 20+. Even though there is a train at Oak Grove at this exact moment. I got no clue bruh

It’s been like that all week. It is so fucking frustrating.

Especially since there were so many people on the T today. Going to Boston for the Winter classic and pre-First Night stuff.
