It's been a year now since Boston and then the rest of the state shut down, keeping people at home to "flatten the curve" of coronavirus infections that were beginning to rise rapidly.

The MBTA kept running — shuttling health care, frontline, and essential workers to and from work -- but also just enacted another round of service cuts Sunday.

We reflect on the past year, look to the future, and take listener calls with MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak.

This segment aired on March 15, 2021.
