Boston's commuting scene is going to look a bit different today as the MBTA axes all morning ferry service due to an aggressive storm that's predicted to slam the area with high winds and heavy rains. The tempest isn't just stirring the waters; it's causing a whole reshuffle of the ferry schedules.
According to Boston 25 News, all morning services were cancelled today as authorities expect the severe weather to pose a risk for maritime travel. For those who leverage the sea to slip into the city, Hingham to Boston Ferry voyages are supposed to commence again at 11 a.m., but only if the weather gods permit.
Hingham, Hull, and Logan lines to Boston are facing a longer pause with a planned return to operation at 2 p.m., reported by NBC Boston. The Charlestown to Boston Ferry, traversing the shorter distance, is expected to restart at noon. Amid the disruption, the rest of the MBTA's offerings—buses, trains, and trolleys—remain untouched by the storm's influence and will carry on with their regular schedules.
This situation is unfolding, much like the storm itself, and further details are likely to come as the MBTA and meteorologists keep their eyes on the sky. Travelers have been advised to stay informed on the latest developments since the gnarly New England weather is known to turn on a dime, leaving schedules and plans in its wake. For updated information, commuters are encouraged to check back frequently with the MBTA's alerts.
