Metro was down Sunday morning
Most of the metro system was down for more than an hour Sunday morning, but it was back before 7 – and this following after a long shutdown on Friday.
Sunday’s outage was blamed on the computer system. I wonder how old the metro computers are, and what OS they’re running.

Cobol haha
Srsly though I remember there was a big upgrade from NT some years back so I assume Windows whatever. I’m sure they’re out of date but for control systems that’s not always a bad thing as stability is key, and they basically do the same thing all day every day. It’s the same reason there really is so much cobol still in use.
