BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is practicing social distancing by asking passengers to avoid certain seats on their trains in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
A passenger posted pictures of the closed-off seats, which now have signs on them that read, “Please, for the safety of the operator, refrain from using this seat during the Covid-19 emergency response.”
The MBTA reduced its schedules amid the coronavirus crisis. They ended up adding service back to high volume routes due to overcrowding on the trains.
