Ceiling collapse strains transit options
I'm sure that you have all heard about the ceiling collapse in one of the Big Dig tunnels in Boston. The accident is a tragedy for the family of the woman who was killed and a mess for the Boston transit system (not to mention the political frenzy). Several tunnels are closed while materials are inspected (increasing numbers of flaws are found each day) and there are no predictions about when they will reopen. In the meantime, secondary roads are picking up the slack and the MBTA is adding extra service. Even though it's summer and traffic is usually lighter, people are experiencing longer than normal commutes.
