The following changes to service and operations have been made to protect the health and safety of essential workers who rely on public transit, as well as MBTA frontline staff. All riders and employees are required to wear face coverings while riding the T. Service levels prioritize essential travel for healthcare and emergency workers. All shared trips on The RIDE have been eliminated. Customers should board at the rear doors of buses and street-level trolley stops. Seniors or people with disabilities can still board at the front door if needed. Stations and vehicles are being cleaned and sanitized with increased frequency.
