BOSTON (WHDH) - The MBTA is working to fix staffing issues that are being blamed for an increase in dropped bus trips.

A new study showed that a shortage of about 100 drivers led to around 300 dropped trips per day late last year.

The T is set to unveil a new automated scheduling system, which should improve response to driver absences.

Officials said the new system will be unveiled by next spring.
