Data: As Boston emerges from the pandemic, how is the T faring?
The year 2022 saw service cuts, ridership recovery, and plenty of delays.
The MBTA in 2022 saw an extended shutdown of a major subway line, a federal investigation into its safety practices, and a series of service cuts as T officials struggled to hire amid labor shortages and responded to federal directives.
