In 2018, Gov. Baker said he views it as his job to make sure T riders 'can have a reliable and predictable trip.'
Lawmakers didn't jump at the idea and the $11.3 billion bill that Baker recently signed creates a commission to study and take public comments on"public entities now in existence or that may be created by statute with the ability to design, permit, construct, operate and maintain" passenger rail expansion to Springfield and beyond. It also included $275 million that will go toward development of East-West Rail.
With the Boston area adjusting to the MBTA's major shutdowns, many are looking to the past to see how the transit system reached this point. On Monday afternoon, Baker tweeted that he had taken a train on the Haverhill Line as the T faced its first workday commute with the entire Orange Line and a portion of the Green Line shut down for major maintenance work.@MBTAThe team and I have been in close contact with the T over the weekend and today to monitor the diversion and construction progress.Baker has made the MBTA a focus of his two terms in office, but has seldom used the public transportation system himself.
