MTA Maryland telephone number not working. For information. Wonder what the new number is. 410 539 5000 rings no answer. Last week rings and busy signal. Use to have people to talk to for information. Shocked the number is not working. Passengers need to call for information.

Second day of a new #heatwave in NYC, 92F at noon. My clothes hanging on the rack outside dried in 30min. Five subway lines are down due to an MTA power outage. My flatmate turns on the oven to 400F to warm up a savory pastry. I’m waging a small campaign on #systemoverload.

According to @mta documents, looks like cbtc (computer-based train control) that’s shut down service last summer on parts of the G and nights and weekends this summer won’t happen until 2029 (pushed back from 2027) because of contractor delays in retrofitting cars to 5G.
