Only 35% of Commuter Rail Trains Ran On Time in February
The record breaking snowfall this winter has been a logistical nightmare for thousands using the MBTA, and those riding the commuter rail are still feeling the effects.
According to early numbers from the MBTA, about 65% of commuter line trains were late last month, The Boston Globe reports. The MBTA has fined Keolis Commuter Services $434,425 for the late trains in February, the maximum allowed, according to the report. The MBTA is still calculating fines for the performance of trains that were on time.
“We know we fell short in meeting the community’s expectations and we have been doing everything in our power to bring the system back up to full capacity,’’ Keolis spokesperson Leslie Aun wrote in an email, according to The Globe. “The issues facing the system are real and the problems won’t be solved overnight.’’
