What’s happening with the Green Line?

Submitted by danda500 t3_yhxn5f in boston

Since the MBTA is not reporting anything and it’s clear from twitter that this has been an ongoing problem for over an hour, can we crowd source some info? I’ve heard disabled train at hynes, power and/or signal issues at downtown stations… anyone know?

Tl;dr if you need to take the green line tonight, save yourself the time and take an Uber.

UPDATE BELOW, they are running shuttle busses without communicating them on any of their websites or social media

Here's what I've gathered; Power problem at Arlington, Shuttle Busses between Blandford Street and Govt Center

Northern trams turn around at Govt Cntr

B branch turn around at BU East/Blandford; C & D turn around at Kenmore; E turn around at MFA/Northeastern - 39 Bus offered as alternative btwn MFA and Copley

Power dept has been on site for over 1 hour

I’m heading to longwood, got stuck at govt center. Ended up taking blue to state and then hopped on orange to ruggles and walking twenty minutes to work now. Who knew I’d consider the orange line my most reliable method rn
