BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The MBTA will resume regular service across almost the entire system Wednesday, the agency announced.
The Fall River/New Bedford Line on the Commuter Rail will operate on a modified weekday schedule.
A historic blizzard Monday led to MBTA subway trains, buses, and Commuter Rail lines operating at reduced levels. The Mattapan Line was suspended and replaced with shuttle buses, while all ferry service was suspended.
"I want to thank MBTA employees for their around-the-clock work that allowed us to maintain transit service for the riders who depend on it," Interim Transportation Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng said in a statement. "On behalf of the T, I also want to express gratitude to our riders for their patience and understanding as we worked tirelessly to recover from this historic storm."
The MBTA is still encouraging riders to plan extra time into their commutes and to be careful on platforms and when boarding and exiting vehicles.
