We've added ~200 more trips each day vs the current schedule.
Paper schedules now available @ North Station, South Station, & Back Bay.
We're monitoring ridership, listening to feedback, & working with state leaders on future changes to service.http://mbta.com/coronavirus
If you can shift when you commute, consider riding later, earlier, or off-peak. Staggered commutes help with social distancing and lets you avoid crowds. The new schedules are similar to our full schedule and have trips spread out more evenly across AM & PM rush hours.
Do your part. Wear a face covering over your mouth and nose throughout every step of your trip. This a critical role we all play to ensure everyone's health and safety. Here's how to make and use a mask: http://mass.gov/CoverYourFace
Washing your hands is just as important as wearing your mask. Stay prepared and bring hand sanitizer with you in case you don't have easy access to wash your hands with soap & water.This helps us keep surfaces clean and is another part of ensuring public health.
