“To say we’re frustrated is putting it lightly,” she said Monday. “I was hopeful we could ask questions and really understand the T’s plan. . . . It’s such short notice that it’s hard to grasp.”

The MBTA said it will be using the Orange Line shutdown to make much needed track repairs and updates ordered by the Federal Transit Administration, which is currently investigating safety lapses at the agency.
