  • MBTA Commuter Rail is the commuter rail system for the Greater Boston metropolitan area of Massachusetts. It is owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and operated under contract by Keolis. In 2019, it was the sixth-busiest commuter rail system in the United States with an average weekday ridership of 121,700. The system's routes span about 400 miles (640 km) and cover roughly the eastern third of Massachusetts and the northern half of Rhode Island. They stretch from Newburyport in the north to North Kingstown, Rhode Island, in the south, and reach as far west as Worcester and Fitchburg. The system is split into two parts, with lines north of Boston having a terminus at North Station and lines south of Boston having a terminus at South Station. As of September 2022, there are 133 active stations on twelve lines, two of which have branches. 107 active stations are accessible; 26 are not. Five additional stations (Prides Crossing, Hastings, Silver Hill, Plimptonville, and Plymouth) are indefinitely closed, and one (Mishawum) temporarily closed, due to service cuts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three stations (Winchester Center, South Attleboro, and Lynn) are temporarily closed due to structural deterioration. Seven additional stations are under construction, including six as part of the South Coast Rail project; several other stations are planned. The MBTA was formed in 1964 to subsidize suburban commuter rail service operated by the Boston and Maine Railroad, New York Central Railroad, and New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Subsidies began in stages from 1965 to 1973; a number of stations closed in 1965–1967 before service to them was subsidized, of which 26 have not reopened. Contraction continued into the early 1980s; 43 additional stations closed between 1967 and 1981 have not reopened. Expansion of the system began in the late 1970s, including extensions of existing lines and the reopening of several lines discontinued before the MBTA era. Three additional low-ridership stations have closed since 1981, while several others have been relocated. (en)
