MBTA service was expected to largely resume Tuesday morning, after being shut down for part of Monday due to the fierce storm hitting Massachusetts, a T spokesman said.
Subways will resume regularly scheduled service, except that shuttle buses will replace Green Line trains on the D branch between Riverside and Reservoir stations, said Joe Pesaturo, MBTA spokesman.

Davey was flat out wrong. I'm sure people were stranded at work. How many people listen to news radio at work?
Until last year the T hadn't be shut down in more than 30 years, through nor'easters and all kinds of storms, including a couple of hurricanes that passed just west of Boston. During the blizzard of 78 the T stopped for a few hours and then started again.
Now, two years in a row, the T stops running if winds are expected to be 40 mph -- not for just a couple of hours when the winds are highest, but for the rest of the day. Are they going to shut down now for every nor'easter?
Davey should be fired. I've never been so disappointed in the Patrick administration. Wimps!
Meanwhile it's ironic that Patrick is all over the utilities.
Who-Cares,I agree
I also remember taking the T to my job at one of Boston's hospitals during the Blizzard of 78
Parking for staff on the day shift is non-existent in Boston hospitals. Those people must take public transit to get to work. They are expected to be there despite the weather. The T transported them to work and then abandoned them.
Davey was incompetent as T GM and remains so as secretary of transportation
But even in the best of weather one can never depend on the MBTA
