Brookline, MA - 4/3/2020: A woman walks on an empty Green Line platform at the Longwood MBTA Station in Brookline, MA on April 03, 2020. Gelinas works as a childcare provider at Bright Horizons at Beacon Hill. She said the center has remained open, catering to first responders and their children.
The MBTA moved to a modified Saturday schedule across the system on March 17 in response to reduced ridership because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
(“These further revisions will continue to support critical travel needs of those who are essential to slowing the spread of this virus,” Steve Poftak, general manager of the MBTA, said in the statement. “These revisions, along with the additional precautions we are implementing to protect the health and safety of our workforce, will ensure we can continue to provide critical transportation services.”) (Craig F.
