Herald Editorial: Today’s T woes didn’t have to happen

Son of MBTA's Kenneth Green, Transit Police chief, charged with murder in Everett shooting death

While this Boston Herald editorial runs rampant, righteously so, over the MBTA

 Combine that with adults returning to work (not everyone can toil from home), the phalanx of Ubers and Lyfts plying their trade, and you have the recipe for a traffic nightmare.  https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/08/11/editorial-todays-t-woes-didnt-have-to-happen/

Those who cheered the opening of the Green Line Extension are back where they started — the T is shutting it down from Aug. 22 to Sept. 18. Temporary shuttle buses will replace Green Line service between the Government Center and Union Square stations.

All this amid high diesel prices.

The Federal Transit Administration’s probe into safety problems at the MBTA isn’t the first time the agency was called out for falling short.

It just took that first domino to fall unchecked for years of problems to follow. And here we are, facing a painful start to the school year.

Who would have thought remote learning could look so good?
