CAMBRIDGE, MA — If you're taking the bus this evening practice some deep breathing or consider perhaps taking a walk. The Route 71 and Route 73 buses are experiencing delays of up to 25 minutes because of a power issue near Mt. Auburn and Aberdeen avenue. Crews are on scene making repairs, according to the MBTA. But if your bus isn't there today, this is why.
