whoever's accountable for one of the largest transit systems in the world's wealthiest, most powerful nation is doing an embarrassingly bad job

Remember when the lying @MBTA said "We'll just close down the Orange Line for an entire month and fix everything" and then it was worse and slower than ever?
Enough of these games. Bring the feds in to take control of this disastrous mess

No matter how many tax dollars are thrown its way - the @MBTA is a flaming hot pile of trash, rotten to the CORE, no matter what!

The same Monica who went "once I say it, it is now a policy" and is now getting dragged for it?
THAT's the sort of leadership @MassGovernor has in Transportation?
No wonder both the MBTA and our streets are a TOTAL MESS!
Don’t worry—he’ll bring it to us because everyone wants to be part of the MA economy.
Thanks to Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt for pushing MA to think differently. We’re all freeloading when we drive and it’s time we own up to it.

The zero accountability @mbta can’t even do the basics properly!!!!
It’s very clear that all those at @mbta who plan the closures, shuttles, signage DO NOT RIDE the system. Never clear info, bad way finding, not thought out (ie can’t load cards since stations are closed but buses aren’t free), especially when buses will no longer take cash

Lol, just such a mess. The entire @mbta needs to be razed and the entire staff fired and replaced—withOUT the bloated pensions that suck taxpayers dry without any return!
Hey maybe one day our INNOVATION HUB in our WORLD CLASS CITY will find trains that don’t burst into flames on a weekly basis

"A 30-year-old cable owned by the @MBTA failed early Thursday, triggering the shutdown of electricity to the Green, Blue and Orange line and forcing some passengers to use lights on their cellphones to find their way though darkened stations"
WORLD CLASS INNOVATION CITY, BABY!
What's happening here is a metaphor for the entire @MBTA
Can someone please explain what is happening here? Seven jerky stops (started filming after 2nd one) in quick succession for no apparent reason.

Ah yes, the zero accountability @MBTA having both a MASSIVE budget problem (thank those bloated pen$ions!) and a catastrophic backlog in BASIC, BASIC maintenance -
No wonder people are dying and getting injured on this trash system!

At the ZERO accountability @MBTA, not only do the trains not function, but even basic business and record-keeping is impossible for these incompetent morons!
How much worse can it get?!?!

The absolute disaster today on the @MBTA is further reason why business is fleeing Boston
No profitable company wants to rely on this MESS to get its employees around!
And we thought we could host the Olympics?!?!

Absolutely embarrassing, as always, to see the total mess that is the zero-accountability @MBTA
INNOVATION HUB!!!!!

Gotta love living in a WORLD CLASS CITY!!!!
Wait an absurd amount of time for a train to show up at a major downtown hub - only for it to go out of service since the ZERO accountability @MBTA is running trains from pre WW2
A damn shame for all involved
The joys of the morning Red Line commute. 15 minute wait, than train out of service. @universalhub @lolMBTA @transitmatters
The zero-accountability @MBTA is "so incompetent at one of its most basic duties, recording and repairing track defects, that the agency did not have an accurate accounting of the areas of the subway system that needed fixing"
INNOVATION HUB!!!!!

Ah yes, just LOVE commuting to work in our INNOVATION HUB - where transit is SO BAD that people would rather walk in the freezing cold

Sorry @wendoverpro. You can't do a video about how the T got the way it did and mention the debt it carries, but NOT mention that the debt was for the Big Dig - a project with ZERO transit benefits that the Highway Dept decided to put on the MBTA's books. Absolutely massive miss.
The headline says it all:
"Healey, marking first year in office, touts MBTA as ‘safer and more reliable’ amid continued lapses"
Unfortunately, her political rhetoric doesn't correlate with reality, ESPECIALLY all the recent major safety lapses at this zero-accountability mess
Turns out, Maura Healey @MassGovernor is just as clueless and deceptive as Charlie when it comes to the MBTA
