According to Transit Matters, they did fix it, but it was then later reinstated, so this title is a little misleading.

If you repair something and it breaks again a few months later I wouldn't call it a "fix".

What is your expectation of warranty?

6 months? 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? 100 years? 1000 years?

You say 30 years, the MBTA says 3 months. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

It's been over 5 months. Still think it's insane that we need big closures at this point.

There was a kind of resignation with the month-long OL shutdown, "Well I guess if it gets things working again, do what you have to do." The big closures are frustrating, but it's even worse when the issues either don't get fixed or don't stay fixed after the closure.
