MBTA offers discount on parking passes

MBTA offers discount on parking passes  The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority will begin offering monthly parking passes next month for commuter rail passengers.
Commuters who park at MBTA-operated lots, including the lots in Grafton, Southboro and Westboro, could opt for monthly passes instead of stuffing dollar bills into outdated “honor boxes” every day.
Starting in February, monthly passes can be bought online with a credit card. Customers who buy monthly passes will receive a discount.
Last summer, the MBTA launched a program that allows commuters to pay for parking daily using their mobile phones. Through the system, called Parkmobile, customers can pay with a smart phone application or by sending a text message or making a call from any cell phone.

When service does resume, Zambuto said it would operate on a holiday schedule. Service was still suspended as of 9 a.m. Monday
