Today was one of those days that every MBTA commuter dreads—something wrong everywhere I turned. I should have gone to the bathroom before leaving the office. I had to pee the whole way home.
This completely fucked up my commute tonight. First, the silver line bus I was on went out of service because its route was blocked by a police barricade.
I tried getting on the Orange line, but the trains weren’t running. I believe it was because the entire system went into lockdown.
By the time I finally got to Government Center, the line to get on the blue line was horrific. My train was packed like it was the Tokyo subway.
When I got to Maverick Square, I found some solace in today’s commute when Joe, the driver of the 121 bus, was waiting. He’s a great driver, friendly and chatty. He’s on the 121 every day and knows all of his regulars.
