"They worked well in advance of the storm. They worked through the storm, and they're continuing the work today as we speak, continuing to clean up our roadways, continuing to fix the infrastructure and clear snow from the MBTA system," MBTA General Manager and Interim Transportation Secretary Phil Eng said. "We're seeing improvements as we go."
"impacted all of MBTA services,"
"very close to normal across the entire MBTA system today, the exception being our ferry service."
MBTA services resumed very close to normal systemwide after a snowstorm that dumped at least 16 inches in Boston, with ferry service suspended due to slush and ice in the harbor. Crews worked in advance, through, and after the storm to dig stations, clear signals and switches, clean roadways, and repair infrastructure. The Commuter Rail operated on reduced storm schedules providing about a third of regular weekend service. Buses ran normal schedules but many used snow routes to avoid hills and narrow streets. The Mattapan Line was replaced with shuttle buses both days to protect aging trains.
