The speed restrictions, which are between 10 and 25 miles per hour, were announced Thursday evening and were effective immediately on the Red, Orange, Blue and Green Lines, the MBTA announced.
Riders were warned that the speed restrictions will add additional travel times to commutes.
The T also apologized, saying that it"remains committed to operating the transit system in the safest manner possible."The MBTA had other issues during the Friday morning commute, too. On the Mattapan Trolley line, a piece of construction equipment fell onto the tracks, causing the need for shuttles to replace service. Meanwhile, on the Blue Line, shuttles were replacing service between Maverick and Suffolk Downs due to a power issue at Airport Station.
