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?

Yeah, I worry about everyone else who works in that restaurant where the owner lives near by. How far do the dishwashers, cooks, and waitstaff travel?

I have those same fixed feelings as you describe.
