After another month of faring better financially than budgeted, the MBTA has set aside nearly $71 million in savings since the start of the fiscal year, though officials continue to stick to their plan to cut service on underused lines and consider restoring it later this year.
A recent report also found that the T paid out $82 million in overtime wages last year, despite its budgetary concerns.
The T, which shuttered weekend service on several commuter rail lines and trips on the Charlestown and Hingham ferries starting Saturday, finished November with net revenues of $14.3 million compared to an expected monthly bottom line of negative $5.2 million, General Manager Steve Poftak said. That performance was driven by a combination of decreased spending and better-than-expected sales tax revenue collections, Poftak said.
