Folks traveling to and from the North Shore into Boston via commuter rail will notice fewer trains running in the coming weeks.
Beginning Monday, Dec. 14, the commuter rail is operating a reduced service schedule due to low employee availability caused by COVID-19 absences, according to a press release issued by Keolis and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).
“The MBTA and Keolis, like other employers in Massachusetts, have experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases over the past 10 days,” the release stated. “The Reduced Service Schedule will run at least through Dec. 27. During this time, the MBTA and Keolis will monitor employee availability to determine if the Reduced Service Schedule needs to remain in place for an extended period.”

BOSTON (AP) The Tobin Bridge is getting a dedicated bus lane to see if it helps ease crowding and speed up commutes, state transportation officials say.
The 1.1-mile southbound bus lane on the bridge is expected to open for use on Monday, according to a statement from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and the state Transportation Department.
The dedicated all-day bus lane exclusive to Route 111 begins after the Everett Avenue on-ramp merge in Chelsea and extends across the bridge, ending just before the City Square Tunnel in Charlestown.
The pilot will be in place for one year with the bus lane’s performance analyzed for travel time, operations, crowding, ridership and overall traffic safety.
