Public Meeting | Fall 2021 Service Changes (Virtual) | Events | MBTA

The MBTA Public Engagement team, is reaching out to give an update on the MBTA’s fall service changes.

This fall, we’re continuing to add back service across the system to support increased travel across the region.

We are implementing service changes to:

· Continue to preserve access and quality of service for transit critical communities;

· Provide sufficient service for returning riders and increased travel;

· Accommodate riders who are returning to in-person school or work;

· Support new travel patterns and behaviors.

Subway and Bus service changes will be effective on August 29, 2021, and schedules will be posted in mid-August.

To share more information about these service changes, we will be holding a public meeting about the Fall 2021 service changes on August 5, 2021 at 6:00pm.
