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?

The decision makes sense if you travel the T most days and have realized in the past five years or so that the whole thing is falling apart.

We actually have a new bus deployed on the 96 bus line. I was told it cost $699,000. Still not as roomy or well-equipped as the bus I rode on my last trip to Ottawa last October.
