Orange Line Service Changes
The Orange line runs 11 miles from Oak Grove to Forest Hills, supporting over 200,000 rider trips a day.
Service disruptions are subject to change, dependent on weather, city-wide events, and construction progress.
Shuttle Service During Coronavirus
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, all riders are required to wear face coverings and should leave extra space between themselves and other riders. Shuttle capacity is limited to 20 people.

Shuttles run all day Saturday and Sunday.
These service changes will allow crews to remove vegetation near the tracks.
Shuttle Accessibility
Shuttles are accessible to people with disabilities. Some bus shuttles may be provided by third-party contractors and will look different than MBTA buses. Some may provide accessibility via a lift in the back rather than a ramp in front.
Trains Run at Reduced Speed
After completing track work, we typically implement speed restrictions while we monitor the tracks to ensure that ballast and other materials have settled properly. Restrictions are lifted after we get confirmation from an engineer, which can sometimes take several days.Building a Better T
As part of our $8 billion, 5-year capital investment plan, we're renovating stations, modernizing fare collection systems, upgrading services for our buses, subways, and ferries, and improving the accessibility of the entire system.
