With ridership cratering were any of the MBTA commuter rail trains close to warranting 6-8 cars over the past 4-6 weeks? If not, why didn't MBTA sideline half the cars saving wear/tear/fuel to run 3-4 car trains? I'm guessing T trains will be severely under-patronized for a few more months as people who work in Boston continue to work from home. And driving on the Mass highways is a piece of cake these days so why take commuter rail even if you need to go into town?
