BOSTON (CBS) – On Thursday at 3 p.m. MBTA trains and buses will give two horn blasts to honor those who are transporting essential workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The MBTA will join Amtrak, New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority, New Jersey Transit and other regional transit organization to honor transit workers who provide transportation services to health care workers, first responders, grocery store employees and others doing essential work.
