"Although ridership is down significantly, there are people who need to use the T and they need to use it on a daily basis ... And our health care workforce is using the T to get to and from work," MBTA GM Steve Poftak says. https://wbur.fm/2JZ8VPP ">https://wbur.fm/2JZ8VPP&q...
The MBTA had a 50% fare loss in March and expects a 95% loss in April, May and June.
