BOSTON (WHDH) - The MBTA Commuter Rail said the global tech outage impacting airlines, hospital systems, emergency services, and more Friday morning also impacted their boarding information.
The issue made it difficult for riders to see information about train arrival times and where trains were in real time as commuters tried to get to work.
While arrival time estimates were impacted, the MBTA said Commuter Rail trains were operating as normal.
The MBTA also warned that bus tracking and in station signage may be “incorrect or unavailable”. By 10 a.m. it had returned to normal operations.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said her administration is closely monitoring the incident.
“Our team is working to assess and mitigate the impact on Massachusetts,” Healey said on X, formerly Twitter. “We’re in contact with public safety, health care, and transportation officials, but residents may experience delays while we resolve the outage.”
