WHAT?? They're not adding a train but making a regular train more than an hour late?? What about people who take that train home from working an evening shift and don't want to leave at 1 am????

If you take the Green Line (or even if you don't) 5 free Bluebikes ‘unlocks’ in Boston while there's no subway service beyond Kenmore Dec 8-22.
Commuter rail riders should expect more users, it will be fare-free between Lansdowne & South Station during this month's Green Line service disruption

During the Green Line diversion from December 8-22, Boston is offering 5 free Bluebikes unlocks. Use code MBTAGREEN128 during the closure. Learn more: boston.gov/discounted-bluebikes

Here's my latest thinking on totals for Tuesday. 1st of the season can be tricky. Remember snow bands likely shift with data. During the day this time of year grass accumulates more than roads. Focus on idea of bands, not exact placement. Updates tomorrow. 🙏#Winter #snow

First Look: Snow totals Tuesday. Models still iffy with an active weather pattern (thanks, Polar Vortex). #Boston could see some snow, but it will likely get washed away with rain. Highest totals north & west of the city, in higher elevations.
