[ron_newman]

The MBTA has announced that all rail and subway services will end tonight at 7 pm. No trains of any kind will leave Boston after 7 pm.

Edited to add: No rail service all day Tuesday either

"Very limited service" will continue on all bus routes, both Monday evening and all day Tuesday.

They just announced the T and commuter rail is shut down all day tomorrow too to clear snow. Limited bus service will be available. I saw it on Fox 25

And I'm wondering why they are running all the regular bus lines as scheduled, instead of cutting back some of that in order to reallocate buses to substitute for rail services.

I suspect any bus line that even vaguely parallels the subway (such as 1, 77, 83, and 96) will become jammed beyond capacity.

Has anyone seen how the 77 is doing today?

It looks ok on Nextbus.
