Sunday marks start of MBTA’s summer service schedule
Sunday marked the start of the MBTA’s summer service schedule, which impacts riders of the Green, Orange, and Blue Lines and MBTA buses.
“We’re revising bus service schedules to better reflect service that will operate,” the MBTA said on its website Sunday. “Last season, MBTA bus service schedules did not always reflect bus arrival times due to operator shortages and not enough drivers to run routes daily.”
The T said the changes in scheduled service “will allow us to improve service delivery by decreasing long gaps/trip cancellations. Most subway lines will also experience service changes.”
The following changes became effective Sunday and will remain in effect for the summer season, according to the MBTA:
Green Line: Service frequency decreases and departure times change on all branches throughout the day on weekdays.
Orange Line: Service frequency increases and departure times change throughout the day on weekdays.
Blue Line: Service frequency increases from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. Departure times change throughout the day every day.
There will be no service changes to the Red and Mattapan lines.
