MBTA Lifts Speed Restrictions on Multiple Lines
TL;DR Summary
The MBTA has announced that it will end global speed restrictions on all trolley and subway lines by this weekend, but block restrictions will remain in place. The Blue Line has the most proportion of track that must have a reduced speed, at 80%. The MBTA presented a series of pie charts that showed the remaining block speed restrictions that will remain in place. The widespread mandatory slow zones continue to saddle riders with sluggish, less reliable and more crowded trips.
