MBTA entirely shut down tomorrow (Tuesday, January 27)

[ron_newman]

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?

One thing to consider is T employees would need to get to work too if the T we're running. That means more people on the roads.

I really hope employers take the hint and don't force anyone to come into work tomorrow, it's going to be dangerous out there.

That's a good point.
