We’re one week into the MBTA’s Orange Line shutdown. Paris and Jeremy catch up with riders to see what the patchwork of shuttle buses, bikes, and delays is like for them. Also: The number of new monkeypox cases in Massachusetts is falling, and vaccines are becoming slightly more available. And this weekend is Carnival in Boston, so get ready for some fun — and some Soca jams. Want to contribute to The Wake Up? Send us your audio diaries about getting around during the MBTA’s shutdowns by emailing us at thewakeup@wgbh.org.
