The additional 48 hours will allow crews to lift 16 speed restrictions currently in place, according to transit officials.

A group is calling on the MBTA to attach googly eyes to the front of trains. "If the trains can't be reliable, at least they can be fun and bring a smile to the faces of over a million people per day."

A portion of the Green Line is currently without service after a rollover car crash in Jamaica Plain on Saturday.

Regular Train service resumed between Bowdoin and Maverick. Shuttle Buses will continue to operate, as planned, between Maverick and Wonderland due to track work.

Several people have reported their cars have been broken into and vandalized at the MBTA parking garage on Broad Street in Lynn and it could be part of a nationwide Tik-Tok trend.

Officials say materials caught fire on a ninth-floor deck.

The $555 million proposal would be the state's largest transportation investment.
