Governor Charlie Baker, MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak, MassDOT Undersecretary Scott Bosworth, and Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver to discuss details on the planned shutting down of Orange Line rail service Friday night for a month to so as to endeavor a makeover of this one of the MBTA’s troubled subway lines.
Fortunately, however deservedly, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch, who is also both the decade long Chair of the MBTA Advisory Board for a decade as well as is the most senior member of the MBTA Board of Directors, is apparently not slated to face the jackals of the media, much less rabid straphangers, at this morning’s presser.
Tough rides coming for MBTA straphangers?

While things are still less than clear as to how moving straphangers will be endeavored via alternative means during the closure of Orange Line rail service, Quincy Quarry News can still only properly acknowledge that MBTA personnel have been scrambling at speeds rarely seen by its rolling stock to prepare alternative public transit transit modalities for use during the projected month-long shutdown of Orange Line rail service so as to endeavor a makeover.
Good luck figuring it out …

Steps including finally rolling out a map to display the alternative service options, including the heavy reliance on the already heavily burdened Green Line service south of Government Center except where Heath Street E Line service is already out of service for its own makevoer through (at least, ed.) August 21.
Needless to say, north of Government Station straphangers who rely on Green Line and Orange Line stations north of Government Station to hit begin their public transit schlep to Fenway Park to catch a game, commute to work, go to school, or otherwise hit the rails are looking at serious travail until at least mid-September.
The entire MBTA board of directors needs to be FIRED and replaced with competent people.
