Thank you MBTA for sharing such an amazing story. You don’t hear of stories on both inclusive and DEI responsibilities that companies and organizations should display these days when it comes to areas in ageism, women’s empowerment, and showing a sense of commitment when employees are willing to stay both loyal and humble. Helen Antenucci is an incredible story and a great PR story for the MBTA as this not only makes New England news, but national news. Let this be an example for many companies that are looking to pull the plug on older workers in the work force as they are the greatest commodity with their years of work experience, leadership qualities, while continuing to have that work ethic to continue staying loyal to one company. Thank you again for sharing such a great story as this has just motivated me for the week.
Helen is the Queen of the Blue Line. My day gets 100000% when Helen is operating & making her announcements.
Before I opened the article, I knew it was her. Congratulations

Congratulations 🎊 and THANK YOU for years years of service!
Congratulations Helen!!! Thank you for your years of service. It is truly a joy when I get on the Blue line in the morning and I hear Helen come over the speaker saying, “Good Morning, Buenas Dias, have a good day. Be kind to yourself and to one another,” it warms my heart and always puts a smile on my face. ☺️
She’s the best such a great person
I LOVE her. I used to take the blue line for like 10 years. It some point learned her schedule and spent the majority of my morning commute listening to her thoughful messages 😭💕
