MBTA completes improvements to Lynn Station

Written by jrood

Joined by State Senator Thomas McGee and Lynn officials, MBTA General Manager Rich Davey today unveiled improvements to Lynn Commuter Rail station. Working closely with Lynn officials to promote public transportation and to ensure customers are provided a safe, reliable and accommodating experience, the MBTA has made significant improvements to the station relating to security, fare vending and the internal and external appearance of the station. A $160,000 investment, 20 networked security cameras have been installed to provide live viewing capability to Transit Police and the MBTA's Operations Control Center. Cameras have been installed in the following areas: commuter rail platforms, stairwells, the busway and the concourse and fare collection areas. Additional investments include two fare vending machines installed in the busway allowing Central Square bus customers the opportunity to purchase fare media in advance. This will allow for faster boarding and increased payment options for these customers. General Manager Davey also announced one week of free parking beginning Monday, June 6 through Sunday, June 12.
