Foxboro Weekday Service Pilot

In conjunction with the start of the fall Commuter Rail schedules, effective November 2, 2020, the Foxboro Weekday Service Pilot will be paused until spring 2021. The adjustment is part of changes across the Commuter Rail system as a result of COVID-19. Please check back next spring for more info.

On October 21, 2019, the MBTA launched a year-long pilot to test interest in weekday Commuter Rail service to Foxboro.

Foxboro Station is ideal for area residents who:

• Live closer to Foxboro Station than their current station
• Park at a nearby station that has limited spaces

It's just a short drive from:

• Walpole Station, Zone 4 (4 miles, about 9 minutes)
• Norfolk Station, Zone 5 (5 miles, about 10 minutes)
• Mansfield Station, Zone 6 (7 miles, about 15 minutes)
• Franklin Station, Zone 6 (10 miles, about 10 minutes)

It’s also great for reverse commuters who drive down from Boston, or for those interested in working in Foxboro. Weekday service offers:

• An alternative option to driving
• Access to the area via public transportation for non-drivers
• A reverse commute fare that's more than half off a regular fare

Parking

Five hundred parking spaces are available for commuters at Foxboro Station.

Take advantage of free weekday parking (regularly $4 per day) from January 1, 2020, through March 31, 2020, sponsored by Patriot Place.

Reverse Commute Fares

During the pilot, we’ll also be testing a reverse commute fare at the same price as an interzone 4 fare. The reverse commute fare is designed for those who travel from Zone 1A stations on the Franklin and Fairmount lines to Foxboro in the morning, and return to Boston in the evening.

You can purchase one-way reverse commute tickets on board, at ticket windows, and on mTicket.

Monthly reverse commute passes are available at ticket windows and on mTicket. Passes bought at ticket windows include Local Bus transfers.

Schedule

Trains between Foxboro and South Station travel on the Franklin Line and the Fairmount Line.

Note: Some trains do not stop at Hyde Park, Ruggles, or Back Bay stations. If you travel to or from these stations, please check your line's schedule for details.
