Evening Commute -- Feb. 10, 2010

I got to Government Center at 6:10. The first train to arrive was a B line at 6:11. A C line arrived at 6:12, but it was only a one-car train. Why does this ever happen? I hate having to squeeze everybody into one car, and, even worse, if, like me, you tend to wait at the end of the platform, it means you have to make a mad dash down to where the one car is. I decided to wait and take my chances with the next train, which turned out to be another C line at 6:14. This train did have two cars, and I jumped on. Predictably, it was mostly empty, as it was right on the heels of the previous C line. Who is planning these things? Why should two trains from the same line ever come into Government Center back-to-back? Anyway, there may have been some kind of issue with the D line that was causing the profusion of C lines, because the driver made a fairly incomprehensible announcement about how people looking for D line trains needed to hop on and get off at Park Street. The workings of the Green Line are mysterious and not to be questioned by mere mortals.
