GOVERNOR BAKER WAS GONNA FIX THE MBTA....WAS THAT WHY HE HIRED INCOMPETENT OVERPAID BOOBS TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEMS? CHARLIE'S RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION! LET'S MAKE IT ONE AND DONE!

‘The T is failing before our very eyes’   It’s getting to the point where another day, another train derailment is no longer another day, another train derailment at the T – and former transportation secretary James Aloisi says that we reached that point yesterday, after the latest Red Line debacle that included a train derailment, 300 feet of damaged electrified track, plumes of smoke billowing into Andrew Station and widespread service disruption for thousands of riders. Aloisi at CommonWealth magazine: “Wednesday’s Red Line meltdown didn’t happen because of harsh winter weather. Ironically, it happened during a gloriously warm day in February, a day when the one blessing of a failed subway system was that many people could walk to their destinations in relative comfort.” CommonWealth’s Bruce Mohl, the Globe’s Danny McDonald and Alana Levene and Boston Magazine’s Spencer Buellhave more. SHNS’s Matt Murphy (pay wall) has Democratic gubernatorial candidate Setti Warren’s enough-is-enough reaction. Edmilson Silva at the Herald describes what it was like waiting inside a stranded train yesterday.
