Note: Yes, this is different from the notice made earlier this week about the PTC Project and I would have hoped that there would have been a little more coordination about the two announcements. For those looking to take the train to Boston on the weekend, take it from downtown's Dean Station and not Forge Park.https://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/04/mbta-starting-saturday-may-2-franklin.html

"We’ve made system-wide service changes to accommodate for decreased ridership and to protect our frontline employees while still enabling travel for essential workers, like hospital staff and emergency responders.
During the week, all subway lines and most bus routes are running on a Saturday schedule, and all Commuter Rail lines are on reduced service. Regular schedules for these modes are still in effect on weekends. Ferry service has been suspended entirely.
We value your feedback and are monitoring the effects of these service reductions closely. We will adjust service accordingly as the situation changes.
For the most up-to-date information, and to learn more about our response to COVID-19, visit mbta.com/coronavirus
During reduced service, our crews will continue to work on infrastructure repairs and upgrades throughout the system. This weekend, shuttles will replace trains on the Red and Green lines, and on the Green and Mattapan lines on weeknights.
Work will continue on the Commuter Rail as well. Starting Saturday morning, there will be shuttles on the Framingham/Worcester, Franklin, and Lowell lines, and the Fitchburg Line will start and end at Porter.
This work supports a number of projects as part of our $8 billion, 5-year capital investment program.
