It's normally like a 10 minute ride on the T get anywhere but it took fucking forever cuz they had above ground shuttle busing to bridge the gap in service.

To make matters worsethere was a friggin gay pride parade somewhere in the city so it was being flooded by rainbow flag wearing, assless chap mongers (JT Rocks kind)

Fuckin city turned into hell in a handbasket this weekend.

I was waiting for the sky to fall
The Red Line sucks donkey balls. A few weeks ago, decided to take the T from Forrest Hills to Porter to get my hair cut and stop by my favorite guitar store. It's a beautiful day, when I'm ready to leave, I decide to walk down to Harvard and catch the train there. It's frickin 5pm and I wait 10 minutes for a train. When it gets there, they damn thing goes out of service with mechanical problems. They announce there are 2 trains behind it. I wait 10 more minutes, there is ZERO progress getting the broken train out of the way. So I gotta run up to the #1 bus and take it all the way down Mass Ave to the Orange line at rush hour. Another 30 minutes, at least. Once I hit the Orange Line, I was home in 10 minutes.

3 of the last 5 times I've taken the red line there's been some kind of problem.

I love Cambridge and Somerville, but I don't miss that fucking train. I'll take riding the Orange through the 'hood any day.
