Operative words

"The MBTA has announced additional service revisions in a continuing effort to protect the health and safety of the T's customers and workforce, and to preserve transit services for those who are essential to slowing the spread of COVID-19, or otherwise must travel for purposes that are absolutely necessary. Effective Wednesday, March 25, the MBTA will modify the Commuter Rail's Reduced Service Schedule to allow for 5 trains to arrive in Boston prior to 7 AM." "MBTA is strongly urging customers to avoid any and all unnecessary travel."
