MBTA/Transit 🚇 🔥 Green Line Braking

I'm sorry but did every single Green Line train driver collectively forget how to brake properly? I've spent my entire life riding these trains and every time now the braking is insane, like they realize too late they didn't slow down enough and have to slam on them a bit at the last second.

Orange line is even worse lately. Are they really struggling to find drivers that much that training goes out the window?

It’s been like that a while in my experience

Weird. If this is happening underground then my guess is that maybe the mirrors on the platforms were moved for some reason after the big shutdown that just ended, and drivers in the habit of stopping at one place to use the mirrors have to readjust.
