All Aboard! The MBTA's Revival of South Coast Commuter Rail Service

from New England Weekend · host WBZ-AM

Back in 1958, passenger rail service came to an end between Boston and the South Coast of Massachusetts, leaving cities like Taunton, New Bedford, and Fall River without train access to the largest city in New England. Now, decades later, South Coast residents are about to get that access back, as the MBTA is starting up service in late March. MBTA General Manager Phil Eng joins the show to discuss the long-running project, what riders can expect, and what comes next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
