A dozen brand new train cars on the Orange Line have been removed from service for the rest of the week because of a problem with the doors. MBTA officials say the trains will be repaired but will be out of service until Monday.
The announcement comes the same day that the MBTA announced the Red Line was back to normal following months of impacts after a major derailment in June.
Orange Line commuters say the malfunction with brand new train cars has sent them over the edge.
They say they've had enough with the delays and constant issues.
"They need to honestly get it together, like seriously this doesn't make any sense," said Lakia Young of Mattapan.

Riders say the doors on one car were malfunctioning while in motion just days ago. Orange Line riders who have yet to take a ride in the new cars say it's disappointing.
"I don't like that idea, no, raising the price and nothing works, it's not good, not good at all," Young said.
A T spokesperson told Boston 25 News that both six-car trains have been removed to repair the broken part on all 144 doors of the 12 cars.
"Of course it's frustrating, but the T has always been overburdened," said Lorna Moritz of Roslindale.
The trains are expected to be back in service no later than Monday. Boston 25 News has been told the fix will not cost the MBTA any money.
