So the Orange Line is down for a month. What are commuters doing while waiting for their temporary shuttle bus? Tweeting, of course. (Some very comically – people can be pretty funny.) Here are some of the tweets coming out during the Orange Line shutdown.
Wouldn't be surprised. LOL
The Orange Line has only been closed for 2 HOURS and there's already one of the Halloween stores in there pic.twitter.com/PBabmNXtr4

The Orange Line will shutdown tonight at 9pm and remain closed for one month. #MBTA @jersiegel drew a map of what to expect. pic.twitter.com/7x7g20ABKn

As you can see here during the orange line shutdown we expect commuters’ road rage to be visible from space pic.twitter.com/zchHnHxuXG

My seat home... think these busses need to ask everyone to put their seats in the upright position 🤔 @MBTA #OrangeLine #MBTA pic.twitter.com/vWp7dRNarg

Hey @MBTA, it’s sad how bad you are messing this up already. You don’t have a single person in north station, not even a sign to let us know that the green line is closed too!?? Do you even have anyone to let us know where is the shuttle bus that we have to take?

If you’ve really had it with public transit problems in Boston, apparently you can take this @mbta shuttle bus to Norfolk, VA pic.twitter.com/L1saBDpxdD

Not bad this morning @MBTA . Well see what the rest of the week brings.

Shuttle was under 30 minutes from Stony brook to Copley. Lovely air conditioned ride with leather seats and very helpful driver. #mbta #bospoli pic.twitter.com/5WzD0K3v7B

After a period of prolonged drought, it's finally raining in Boston. I would like to thank the MBTA for sacrificing an entire subway line to appease our vengeful weather gods.
