The MBTA and Keolis Commuter Services (Keolis), the agency’s operating partner for Commuter Rail, have announced significantly increased train frequency to and from Salem during the month of October. Several extra trains will run on Saturdays and Sundays, and more coaches will be added to trains on the Newburyport/Rockport Line. The increase in service is to accommodate visitors to Salem during Haunted Happenings. The schedule is available at mbta.com/cr.

“Salem is the place to be all year round for happenings, but it’s a must see every Halloween season. We’re ready to bring passengers to Haunted Happenings with more frequent Commuter Rail trips on weekends this October to and from Salem,” said MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng. “We encourage the public to leave their cars at home and enjoy Salem’s festivities in Witch City by taking mass transit. Thank you to our partners at Keolis for providing more frequent scheduled service. As we saw last year, the convenient service for this special month-long event through this great fall schedule was a preferred choice to thousands.”
