I hear this argument a lot, but I live on the Green Line and I very, very rarely see them doing any maintenance after hours on the tracks. Personally, I think it would make a huge difference if they ran 24/7 through Friday and Saturday evenings.

@mbell & @keypusher - they don't do maintenance on every inch of track every night, but I've spent a lot of time working on the T after hours and there is always some maintenance activity happening on all the lines (even if it's just track inspection which isn't something you're likely to notice unless your looking for it).

What does that mean? Wouldn't 24/7 mean all night every evening? Or are you just saying they should at least run all night on the weekends...?

Yes, sorry. I meant all night on the weekends.
