Though the MBTA has not yet released a timetable for commuters ready to ride South Coast Rail, on Monday the T unveiled a feature they said would make commute times flexible, one “unique” to this branch of the commuter rail: shuttle service. 

The T is planning to run shuttles between East Taunton station and the endpoints of Fall River and New Bedford. They’ll be timed to help commuters from one city meet trains headed from the other city. 

“There'll be trains that may not run full distance, but they could get you to a point where you could connect up with the train coming from the other way,” Eng said.
