MBTA entirely shut down tomorrow (Tuesday, January 27)

The entire MBTA system is shutting down all day tomorrow.

I don't understand this decision. During the Blizzard of '78, at least the underground parts of the T were kept open throughout the storm, as was the Longfellow Bridge crossing. If the state wants people not to travel on the roads tomorrow, shouldn't the T be kept open?

MBTA was shut down two years ago:

Employees have to get to work somehow.
