Globe discovery of the day
The Boston Globe has finally discovered that MBTA announcements and electronic message boards don’t work.
They’re often actively broken or wrong, too, not just disconnected:
At Back Bay station, an electronic message board flashes the word ”Rebooting,” replaced a few moments later with meaningless red dashes. At the commuter rail station in Natick, an electronic sign displays the incorrect time so often, passengers simply ignore it.
Of course, anyone who actually uses the system could have told them that they’ve been like this for years and years, if not for the entire history of the system.
Perhaps tomorrow’s Globe will tell us that water is wet.
