Sadness!

It was horrible to read this on the MBTA website today:

"Mattapan Trolley Suspended for One Year; Replaced with Shuttle Buses
Temporary shuttle bus service has replaced the Mattapan Trolley due to the reconstruction of Ashmont Station."

I was just telling someone last night how cool the high-speed trolley is! One can only hope that this will only be temporary, and that they will return the trolley to its former glory. The website doesn't say when the year begins, or give a date for this news item. But when it returns, I encourage everyone to use it, it's a real trip!
