Delays were reported on the MBTA's Green Line on Monday afternoon due to an electrical issue.

The issue was first reported shortly after 2 p.m., with shuttle buses replacing Green Line service between Kenmore and Government Center due to a train with a pantograph problem at Copley. A pantograph is a wire-like device that helps transmit electrical energy to the train cars.
