Boston's MBTA Faces Major Disruptions Due to Power Outages

Thousands of commuters were stranded as power issues halted major subway lines during the morning rush hour.

Power outages impacted the Green, Blue, and Orange lines of Boston's MBTA, causing significant delays.
The MBTA reported the issue early Thursday morning and worked to restore power by 10 a.m.
Commuters experienced sub-freezing conditions and overcrowding at stations, with some resorting to using cellphone lights to navigate.
Alternative transportation options were provided, including free commuter rail rides for affected passengers.
The MBTA has been under scrutiny for safety issues and requires an estimated $24.5 billion for repairs and replacements.
