Weekend Service Changes
When infrastructure repairs or upgrades require more than a few hours, we aren’t able to do them overnight, so work is scheduled over the weekend. On these weekends, buses will replace train service on the part of the line we’re working on.
Planned weekend work is listed below and will be updated if anything changes.
August 8 – 9, 2020
Blue Line
Shuttle buses replace trains between Bowdoin and Airport to support tunnel and track upgrades.
Shuttles will travel in a one-way loop downtown and will stop at State and Bowdoin for drop off only. Shuttles will pick up and drop off at nearby Government Center.
Some shuttles will run express from Airport Station, bypassing Maverick Station. Riders seeking the express shuttle should see station personnel and/or station signage for more information and pick up/drop off areas.
Green Line
Shuttle buses will replace train service between North Station and Lechmere until spring 2021 to allow for work on the Lechmere Viaduct and to construct the new Lechmere station.
Shuttle buses replace Green Line E service from Prudential to Heath St to support track and intersection upgrades.
Riders can also take Route 39, which runs between Forest Hills and Back Bay, for free.

Orange Line trains to Forest Hills will bypass North Station to allow for station improvement work. Please use nearby Haymarket as an alternative.
