MBTA to Shut Down Service at 2 p.m. Monday Due to Sandy

Plan your trip home accordingly with Commuter Rail transportation to and from Wilmington closing down.

If you braved the elements and took the T to work this morning, pack up your stuff now: The MBTA will shut down service at 2 p.m. due to severe weather caused by Hurricane Sandy.

According to the T website, the service suspension includes subway, bus and commuter rail service. Ferry service had already been suspended earlier in the day.

The Ride remains open but users are "strongly encouraged" to call the contractor for their area to see if service is available.
