Just drove m this stretch of #Rutherford Ave with newly marked bus lanes. On a Sunday it’s not a problem but during a busy commute, the idea of bikers traveling on the right side of bus lane stresses me out. Be safe out there. #OrangeLine #MBTA #Boston

Update: #CopleySquare - Dartmouth Street is closed for buses only from Columbus Ave to Boylston St. This impacts entrance to #MassPike. Just made this drive and was thrown off. But found details buried in this #Boston update: boston.gov/sites/default/ #MBTA #OrangeLine

Had brunch at

!!! Was AMAZING! #JamaicaPlain #Boston

We’ve taken the #OrangeLine often to #JamaicaPlain. It’s usually a 12 min ride. The shuttle took about 25 mins. But it was free, comfortable, and easy enough to navigate if u have time and it’s a straight shot w/o transfer. #MBTA

There are several ways shuttle buses are slower than #OrangeLine trains. They have to contend with car traffic, they have to wait for people to get on and off via one door, and strollers don’t fit on the bus so the driver has to open and close the luggage compartment. #MBTA

For the most part the #OrangeLine shuttles stick to the route of the T tracks. And everyone was patient and polite. #MBTA

The turns are tight!!! We saw the road markings to make sure the 45ft buses can safely make turns. But it gave me pause to think what will happen when impatient drivers are also crowding the roads. #MBTA #OrangeLine

There were several helpful #MBTA ambassadors who told us where to go to catch the #OrangeLine shuttle. It was air conditioned and plenty of seating. #Boston

We waited about 3 minutes for our #OrangeLine shuttle to take us into #Boston. #MBTA

Off the bat, there are A LOT of buses from all across the country. We saw them from FL, CT, PA, MD. We saw several of them coming one after the other. #OrangeLine #MBTA #Boston

Rode an #OrangeLine shuttle bus from #JamaicaPlain into #SouthEnd #Boston. 🧵 1st note: I’m traveling leisurely on a Saturday afternoon, so I’m not pressed to make an appointment and there are far fewer cars and people needing to get around.

Had brunch in #JP across street from #ForestHills #OrangeLine Station. Spotted buses from all across the country. They have a sticker designating they’re part of #OrangeLine fleet. There were about a half dozen lined up and ready to go. #MBTA #Boston

Spotted along the #SouthwestCorridor beautiful zinnias. #Boston #SouthEnd

Here we go!!! Good luck. Be kind. Hope for the best!

The last Orange Line train has returned to Wellington Yard. Now, our Power Department will begin the deenergization process across the line. Once power is confirmed to be off, work crews can safely begin loading equipment onto the tracks and right of way. #BuildingABetterT

It took us 40 minutes to get from Government Center to Oak Grove. But this tour wasn’t during rush hour. Elected officials say the same trip on the train usually takes about half that. More takeaways tonight on @NBC10Boston.

#Braintree Police say elderly woman drove into south garage and onto a pedestrian bridge. And due to recent accident, a safety bollard was missing in front entrance. She drove to doors, the sensors opened doors letting her drive right inside mall!!!

Wow. When they said the person drove into the mall, they really meant, inside!!!! Hope everyone is ok!!
