Full Commuter Rail Service to be Restored by March 30

It will take up to a month until the Commuter Rail is functioning at 100 percent again according to the line’s operator.

Keolis International CEO Bernard Tabary said that the system will be at 78 percent passenger capacity on Friday, with full service expected by March 30.

“We will do everything we can to accelerate that process, and have brought experts in from around the world to support this effort. We’ll be working hard to keep passengers informed during this recovery period as we work to rebuild their trust,” Tabary said in a statement.

Tabary went on to apologize for the Commuter Rail’s recent troubles.

“We know you’ve waited on cold platforms and been late to work or had a difficult time getting home at night. We know we haven’t performed up to the high standards you have a right to demand—and that we demand of ourselves,” he said.

Throughout February, the entire MBTA system has been plagued with cancellations, late trains, and limited service due to the unprecedented snow seen during the month.
