South Shore MBTA Riders Face Cuts To Commuter Rail, Ferries

The MBTA commuter rail is facing major service cuts, but South Shore commuters this month will have a chance to tell transit leaders what they think. On Monday, the MBTA revealed the extent of the cuts, which are being proposed amid a major drop in ridership because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ridership is at about 26 percent of what it was before the pandemic — 330,000 daily riders in October compared to 1.26 million per day in 2019. For commuter rail service, the MBTA is proposing to stop service at 9 p.m., stop weekend service beginning in January, and reduce the number of peak and midday service trips from 505 to 430. The MBTA may also close some commuter rail stations due to low ridership, including the Plymouth station. Ferry rides are also expected to be cut completely.
