The MBTA is working to resume Green Line service by Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, shuttle buses will replace the Green Line from Kenmore to Washington Street for the rest of the night. “Preliminarily the distance between the rails was not where it should have been, so we’re assessing as to how that happened,” said Eng. Now crews are working into the night to fix those tracks at this busy intersection by Commonwealth Ave and Brighton Ave. MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng says it appears the rail tracks are to blame after the center wheels went off the track. “It’s kinda frustrating when you pay 90 dollars a month to take the train and then the train doesn’t work.” ![]() “We got to Blandford Street and they were like, yeah no sorry the train’s not working, we’re taking it out of service, like tough luck kinda,” said Julia Beal, a Green Line commuter. The MBTA says all 30 passengers who were on the train got off safely, but it took about four hours to get the train back on track. “The city itself needs to do a lot more to like invest in the infrastructure and make sure this doesn’t keep happening across the T lines,” said Maggie Onder, a Green Line commuter.
