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?

On another social platform someone mentioned that their girlfriend was told she had better come in for her shift starting at 4 am Tuesday Morning at Dunkin Donuts "Or Else". Either the police have decided that Dunkin Donuts is an essential locale to keep open, or this woman's boss is a dolt.

Which DD?

They didn't specify which DD. I don't even know which part of the greater Boston area was being discussed.
