MBTA Lifts Green Line Speed Restrictions, But Delays Persist
TL;DR
The MBTA has announced that the entire Green Line will remain a slow zone due to the discovery of more track problems. A speed restriction of 10-25 mph will remain in place until each defect is validated and corrected. The added delays come on top of existing delays caused by other track problems and a shortage of dispatchers. The speed restrictions are in place for the safety of employees and customers.
