The MBTA said the problem was reported shortly after 8 a.m., and said they had restored power and signals about an hour and a half later.
The delays made for some very unhappy passengers.
Nothing like a nice 2 mile walk to work in 90 degree heat and ballet flats because the Green Line has died. Happy Monday!
