We appreciate our riders’ patience during any of the delays they may have experienced.”
Keolis, which operates the MBTA’s 14 commuter rail lines, added, “Commuter rail trains on some lines are experiencing delays and cancellations due to ongoing winter storm impacts and continued cold temperatures. MBTA and Keolis crews have been working around the clock across the commuter rail network to apply sand and salt to passenger areas, clear snow, and ensure safe operations. Passengers should plan extra time for their travel and use caution on platforms, in parking lots, andwhen boarding or exiting a train.”
