One Morning on the T

It was just an ordinary MBTA rush hour, with all its sights, sounds and irritations. Here's the chatter from the morning of April 17, 2012. PLEASE NOTE: This piece includes some profanity. More coverage at wgbhnews.org.

  1. Some early updates from the ends of the lines ...

    Hungover on the train. This is the longest, most turbulent commute ever in the history of the world. #MBTA
