A
It's
nice
to
see
everyone
so
who
took
the
orange
line
today.
No
one,
okay!
A
I
just
got
off
the
green
line.
Having
connected
at
copley
from
forest
hills
on
one
of
the
orange
line
shuttles
it
went
pretty
smoothly.
It
was
a
little
bit
longer
than
a
usual
commute,
but
no
real
bottlenecks
or
traffic
along
the
way,
buses
and
trains
coming
very
shortly
at
each
stop
that
we
were
getting
on
and
off
at
and
overall,
very
hopeful
that
it
seems
like
much
of
the
planning
and
all
the
details
that
we
discussed
have
been
implemented
and
so
far
so
good.
A
Yeah,
I
think
that's.
The
biggest
issue
is,
for
example,
when
you
get
off
the
bus
at
forest
hills
coming
in
from
many
points,
south
of
the
city,
that
bus
there's
no
direct
signage
in
the
bus
way
of
how
to
get
to
the
shuttle
buses,
which
are
on
the
other
side
and
down
the
stairs
from
where
the
buses
unload,
where
the
mbta
buses,
unload
and
so
we'll
need
some
signage.
There.
I've
been
taking
notes
along
the
way.
A
There
are
also
certain
stops
along
the
way
where
we
should
see
multilingual
signage,
just
directing
people
where
to
go,
but
I
did
see
a
good
number
of
staff
on
the
ground
at
various
stations,
especially
at
the
transit
hubs.
There
were
blue
bikes
still
at
the
docks
at
many
of
the
docks
that
we
passed
by.
So
it
seems
that
the
supply
is
there
and
the
rebalancing
of
the
bikes
is
working
out.
A
Getting
from
that,
people
were
pleasantly
surprised
at
the
availability
of
buses
that
were
there.
So
when
I
got
off
at
forest
hills
and
eventually
found
our
way
to
where
the
shuttle
buses
were,
there
were
five
lined
up
ready
to
go
and
everybody
had
a
seat.
It
was
spaced
out.
It
was
comfortable
on
the
shuttle
buses.
You
know
it's
not
a
it's
it's.
Let
me
put
it
this
way.
Mbta
riders
are
always
ready
for
anything.
A
A
But
there
were
plenty
of
folks
on
the
ground
and
we
did
see
presence
of
a
good
number
of
public
safety
officials
as
well
ready
to
direct
traffic
and
ensure
that
any
cars
that
were
parked
in
the
bus,
the
new
bus
lanes
were
moved
along,
and
so
all
those
pieces
seem
to
have
been
coming
together.
Pretty
well.
A
A
The
the
part
from
where
I
was
coming
in
on
the
southern
side
of
the
city
hasn't
been
impacted
and
is,
is
a
very
important
connector
between
the
two
halves
of
the
orange
line
shuttle
so
so
far
we
are
still
monitoring
the
situation,
and
the
hope
is
that
it
is
a
little
bit
of
a
slower
ridership
period
now
anyway,
as
as
people
are
wrapping
up
their
summer
plans
again,
we
will
see,
as
the
weeks
go
on,
that
more
and
more
commuters
are
coming
back
in
in
person
and
into
school.
B
A
So
if
you
are
on
the
shuttle
buses
you'll
see
or
if
you're
at
the
stations,
you'll
see
a
number
of
mbta
staff
wearing
the
kind
of
reflective,
bright,
yellow
vests
to
identify
where
people
can
go
and
how
to
get
on
and
off,
there
will
be
folks
wearing
red
that
are
specifically
to
help
guide
students
and
to
with
the
information
about
how
to
go
and
just
to
keep
an
extra
eye
out.
If
our
young
people
need
any
additional
assistance.
A
A
How
do
I
describe
five
thousand
pre-loaded
free
seven-day
passes
for
families
to
be
able
to
ride
with
their
students
ahead
of
time
before
school
starts,
test
out
the
routes
and
see
how
those
are
going
and
we
are
still
working
and
pushing
for
there
to
be
some
dedicated
shuttles
for
specific
schools.
That
might,
for
example,
go
the
entire
length
of
the
orange
line,
so
our
students
don't
have
to
get
on
and
off
the
bus
to
the
green
line
and
on
and
off
the
bus
again.
A
We're
still
working
on
it
that
day
by
day,
there's
a
long
task
list
of
things
to
do
and
the
deadline
for
getting
many
of
the
details
around
the
surface
level.
Transportation
alternative
service
was
friday
night
for
schools.
Some
schools
are
already
coming
back
in
person
and
are
already
coming
back.
You
see
some
of
the
non-bps
schools
students
already
returning,
but
we
are
watching
that
first
week
of
september
date
for
when
we
have
to
be
ready
with
all
of
the
the
bps
preparations.
A
It's
hard
to
tell
because
we
had
many
friends
riding
along
with
us
that
so
we
stopped
to
talk
a
couple
different
times
along
the
way.
I
think
it
was
about
50
minutes
between
when
we
got
on
the
shuttle
bus
at
forest
hills
to
getting
here.
Does
that
sound
about
or
a
little
more?
Was
it
shorter,
35?
A
Okay,
okay,
perfect,
all
right!
So
then
it
then
between
the
bus
and
that
chunk.
It
was
probably
about
the
same
as
what
you
have
to
be
ready
for
when
you're
getting
on
the
the
former.
The
line
formerly
known
as
the
old
orange
line.
D
A
I've
been
feeling
vindicated
about
the
free
service
since
the
day
it
started.
I
mean
if
you
talk
to
any
commuters
who
depend
on
our
bus
system,
depend
on
public
transportation,
the
ease
of
mind
and
the
burden
that's
lifted
when
you
don't
have
to
factor
in
the
extra
layers
of
calculating
the
finances
or
planning
or
hitting
this
or
that
connection
just
right.
A
It
is
all
the
more
important
now
as
we
see
the
resiliency
of
the
system
matters
a
lot
having
the
green
line
cover
some
of
the
same
stops
as
the
orange
line
usually
does
having
buses
that
can
run
parallel
routes
that
we've
been
able
to
add
bus
priority
for
and
having
the
bus
routes
without
financial
barriers
has
meant
that
people
have
some
other
options.
We've
been
working
to
try
to
make
even
more
available.
Blue
bikes
are
free
for
this
period,
but
not
everyone
feels
safe
right
now
with
the
level
of
protected
cycling
infrastructure.
That's
there.
A
So
every
action
that
we
are
taking
to
build
a
multimodal
transportation
system
means
that
if
unexpected
things
come
up
in
the
future,
if
there's
a
major
storm
and
an
elevator
gets
knocked
out
at
a
t
station
or
if
there
is
a
reason
why
a
certain
intersection
needs
to
be
blocked
off.
Having
all
those
options
be
convenient,
reliable,
affordable
to
everyone
is
absolutely
essential
for
the
growth
of
our
economy
and
for
our
communities
to
be
connected
and
for
people
to
get
where
they
need
to.
A
That
one
important
piece
one
important
I
think
piece
of
this
shutdown
to
watch
will
be
the
impact
of
commuter
rail
being
free
for
this
duration.
There
are
many
people
who
live
very
close
to
commuter
rail
stations,
myself
included,
but
because
the
price,
the
usual
price
of
taking
the
commuter
rail,
is
almost
three
times
as
much
as
taking
bus
and
subway.
A
A
A
So
with
that
barrier
being
lifted,
I
think
we
will
see
an
impact
on
traffic
and
how
smoothly
it
can
go
because
more
people
are
choosing
to
get
on
that
train
and
on
our
buses
as
well.
We
need
to
see
more
frequency
of
the
the
stops
being
made
on
the
commuter
rail
and
we
need
to
see
that
we're
making
progress
towards
long-term
solution
for
affordability,.
A
A
A
The
strengths
were
the
the
availability
of
shuttle.
Buses
was
just
as
promised.
We
were
told
it
would
be
every
45
seconds
buses
leave
available
to
leave
from
the
starting
and
ending
points
stretching
out
with
traffic
to
anywhere
from
just
one
to
two
minutes
in
between
the
buses.
That
is
definitely
what
we
saw.
There
was
staff
on
the
ground
at
most
stations,
directing
people
and
giving
information,
so
that
was
great.
B
A
The
city
has
been
partnering
so
closely
with
the
mbta
along
this
entire
push
and
t
staff
are
actually
physically
sitting
with
us
in
boston's
traffic
management
center,
as
we
also
have
staff
from
boston's
transportation
department
sitting
over
at
massdot
headquarters,
monitoring
from
their
nerve
center
as
well,
and
so
we
can
troubleshoot
in
real
time,
assess
what
is
working.
What
is
not
working
and
then
make
the
tweaks
day
by
day
as
we
go,
the
real
preparation
is
for
when
school
starts,.
