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?

For reference, the New York subway shuts down tonight at 11PM this evening.

That surprises me, since much more of their system is fully underground.
