Boston to T.F Green commuter line service begins

Written by jrood

State and federal officials celebrated the new Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority service to T.F. Green Airport today. The "T", a new commuter rail, connects Warwick, Providence and Boston. There will be six stops per day, Monday through Friday, during the peak hours of 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., and 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. The fare is $2.25 each way for travel between Providence and T.F. Green, and $8.25 each way for travel between T.F. Green and Boston. Commuters told the Associated Press they're happy to have a new way to get into Boston, rather than driving up congested Interstate 95 or taking Amtrak from Kingston. The MBTA's Providence/Stoughton line is expected to expand in the future to North Kingstown and have 10 stops each day.
