Been 10 mins since I took the photo, still no train. Fuck MBTA, fuck fuck fuck the incompetent MBTA management.

Still nothing, 9:59. Total of 50 mins waiting.

Edit: arrived at 10pm exactly. They could’ve just said 10pm instead of their 10-14 min bullshit.

Yep, the service is entirely unacceptable at this point. It's insulting to the people of Boston.

I see the problem here, the sign refreshes every 10 to 14 minutes. Signs don't know shit about trains, or buses.

Some cities have live tracking with the countdown clocks or on their transit app, but even with that, there are issues with trains and busses still not showing up or disappearing off the route entirely. Not sure if MBTA has real time countdown clocks though. I would assume it does not.

This won’t be a thing of the past anytime soon. Relief will be years down the road and then your rent will triple because of the enhanced convenience

I was waiting at Green St this past Saturday morning and some 10yo little girl went "Daddy, it's been saying 1 minute for 5 minutes now!...Now it says it's stopped!"

I was just laughing to myself thinking of Ernesto from Always Sunny: "I share this little girls pain."
