One rider scolded the MBCR managers for waiting so long to finally acknowledge the lingering problems on the Worcester-to-Boston line.
"This has been going on for a couple of months and nobody cared, nobody even replied to our complaints until the media got involved and now all of sudden you care? Save it, I don't want to hear it," the unidentified woman said.
The MBCR announced Wednesday that the train that broke down twice on Monday is now out of commission. A brand new one is taking its place.
