Getting Around Boston: MBTA "T" Subway System

Navigating the MBTA "T" Subway System and More

Elijah-Lovkoff/Getty Images

One of the most daunting parts of visiting Boston for the first time is figuring out how to navigate the city’s public transportation: the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority’s (MBTA) subway and bus system, commonly known as the “T.” However, once you get a lay of the land and try it out a few times, you’ll likely find that it’s an easier — and more affordable — way to get around. Parking can be hard to come by, so you’ll be happy not having a car if you plan on staying in the city.

How to Ride Boston’s T (Subway and Busses)

The T is the United States’ oldest subway system, which started running back in 1897. It’s not particularly nice, but it will conveniently get you from one point to another within the city so you can see even more than you could by foot (though Boston is a walkable city). It also comes in handy during winter months when walking isn’t enjoyable.

• Fares : A single ride CharlieTicket for the bus is $2 and the subway is $2.75. However, you’ll save on each ride if you load money onto a CharlieCard (for example, save 50 cents per ride on the train). Do some research and determine if it make sense to purchase a 7-day unlimited pass, which you can use on both the trains and busses. There are also monthly passes available if you’re in town for an extended stay. Children under 11 who are with an adult ride for free, along with military personnel, police officers, firefighters and government officials. Reduced fares are available to students and seniors.
• Types of Passes: There are two types of passes and the best option for you depends on how often you’ll be riding the T, along with the modes of public transportation you want to take. First is the CharlieCard, which is ideal for those that plan on taking the bus and/or train frequently and will give you discounted one-way fares. Oftentimes a CharlieTicket is best for visitors, as they can be bought at any train station and loaded with cash or passes as you need them. While you won’t get discounts this way, they’re also valid on the Commuter Rail and Ferry and will allow you to ensure you aren’t spending more than you need on public transportation.
• Hours of Operation: Hours will vary depending on the line and station you plan on traveling on, but for the most part, you’ll find that the T runs from 5 a.m. to somewhere between midnight and 1 a.m. Don’t wait until it’s getting close to 1 a.m. to head to the train or bus though — that’s recipe for missing the last one from your station. Boston bars typically stay open until 2 a.m., so if you plan on staying out until they close, you’ll need to take an Uber, Lyft or taxi home.
• Subway Lines: The T consists of five separate lines, each of which connects at several locations within the city. The Green Line began as America’s first underground subway system in 1897. Today, the line consists of four separate branches (be sure to get on the right one). The other lines are the Red Line, Blue Line, Orange Line and Silver Line. The main stations that you can connect from one line to another are North and South Stations, as well as stops like Park Street and Downtown Crossing.

Map out your travels using the MBTA trip planner website , which will help you determine the best options for trip, as well as real-time departure and arrival information.

Where and How to Buy Passes for the Boston MBTA Trains & Busses

There are lots of ways to pay for your MBTA train and bus passes, most of which can be purchased online or at MBTA train stations throughout the city. These are the places you can purchase them, including which options accept cash:

• Fare vending machines: Fare vending machines can be found at all subway stations, as well as at the Lynn and Worcester/Union Commuter Rail stations. Here you can buy or renew CharlieTickets and CharlieCards, including 1-day, 7-day, cash value and monthly passes. These machines accept cash and major credit and debit cards, though keep in mind that some will be marked as not accepting cash.
• Retail sales locations: There are select stores in the Boston area and even Providence, RI where you can purchase a CharlieCard and add cash value or a pass to it or add to an existing CharlieCard or CharlieTicket if you already have one. Plan ahead and find a retail store closest to you . These locations accept cash or credit/debit cards.
• Online: If you already have a CharlieCard or order one ahead of your Boston trip, you can register for a MyCharlie account and easily add cash value or passes online. This can also come in handy because it protects you if you happen to lose your card somewhere along the way. Sign up for MyCharlie here — or you can load money onto an existing card here without logging in .
• At street-level stops along the Green Line or Mattapan Trolley: If you’re riding either of these lines, you can add up to $20 cash value on your CharlieCard or CharlieTicket right onboard at these street-level trolley stops. Note that this option does not apply to 1-day, 7-day or monthly passes. To pay at a street-level stop, you’ll need to use cash or coins.

Other Transit Options

• Airport Transit : There are two free MBTA options to get from Logan Airport to Boston. First, take the MBTA Silver Line SL1 Bus, which will go to South Station, which connects to the Red Line, Commuter Rail and several busses. Or you can opt for the Blue Line via a free Massport shuttle bus, which will take you right from the airport terminal to Airport Station on the Blue Line. Alternatively, there is a scenic water taxi that will take you to various destinations along the waterfront, but it’s not the easiest option if you’re traveling with luggage.
• Ferries : The MBTA has two ferry lines that travel to Boston, including the Charlestown Ferry and the Hingham/Hull Ferry, both of which are popular among commuters who live in these areas. Both go to Boston’s Long Wharf, which is easily accessible to many of the city’s hotels and attractions. If you’re looking to visit Boston area beaches, you may want to use the Hingham/Hull Ferry to get to South Shore towns.
• Commuter Rails to Nearby Suburbs: If you’re not renting a car, the Commuter Rails are a great way to get to Boston area suburbs. There are several lines to choose from that will take you in any direction. Rates will depend on where you are traveling to, as they are priced by zone.
• Ubers, Lyfts and Taxis: It should come as no surprise that there is an abundance of Ubers, Lyfts and taxis in the city of Boston. Ride-sharing services are oftentimes more affordable than taxis, though some prefer the convenience of picking up a taxi at a designated taxi stand.
• Bike Sharing: An increasingly popular way to get around Boston is through the city’s Blue Bikes bike share program . There are over 1,800 bikes at 200 stations throughout the city and it’s easy to use – simply become a member online, buy a pass from the app or a kiosk and pick up a bike in a location that’s convenient to you. When you’re done, find a drop-off location, check it in and you’re good to go.
• Car rentals: Car rentals are certainly available in Boston, especially by Logan Airport , but think about if you’ll truly need one before you book. Most Boston neighborhoods lack ample parking, especially without a resident sticker, so you may end up paying a good amount of money to park it. There are plenty of other ways to get around the city without a car. If you plan on spending a decent amount of time outside the city, then a car rental may be necessary. But you could also explore services like ZipCar to use one for a day, for example, which may offer cost savings.

Tips for Getting Around Boston

• Winter weather causes delays. Bad weather — especially snow — typically impacts public transportation, so plan for delays and resulting crowds. Unfortunately, this is due to the MBTA’s old infrastructure in many cases.
• Apps will help predict timing, especially for busses. The MBTA has gotten much better about providing riders with real-time updates on wait times for the trains, but apps can also be helpful. There is an MBTA-endorsed Transit App , as well as others that riders find helpful like the MBTA Bus app.
• Hours of operation end between midnight and 1 a.m. Don’t wait until 1 a.m. to catch the last train or bus — you’ll likely miss it.
• Taking the T can help avoid traffic. With the exception of the Green Line, which is above-ground for much of its path, the T is underground, helping you avoid traffic during peak hours.
• Avoid renting a car unless you plan to leave the city.  You'll find it's both easier and more affordable, as public city parking can be hard to come by and expensive.
• Plan ahead to determine if your best bet is public transportation, walking or Uber/taxi. Google Maps comes in handy here, as you can play out your options to determine which will be faster. It really depends on where you are going and what day of the week or time you’re traveling.
• Think through the best MBTA pass to ensure you get the best cost savings. As mentioned earlier, this depends on how often you’ll be using public transportation, as well as what you plan to see while you’re in town and the number of days you’re visiting for.
• Compared to other major cities, the T is affordable. Keep that in mind if you’re used to NYC fares, for example. Again, do the math before deciding how to get around the city.
• Pay attention to inbound vs. outbound when taking the T. It’s easy to get caught riding in the wrong direction if you don’t look at the map and enter the station on the correct side.

Here’s how you can get around on the MBTA while the Red Line is closed

• Published: May. 02, 2024, 7:38 a.m.

A red line MBTA subway train in Alewife station in Cambridge, Mass. Nicole Simmons/MassLive

• Charlie McKenna | [email protected]

In the latest of what seems like an endless series of closures on the MBTA, the Red Line will shutter between its JFK/UMass and Park Street stations beginning Thursday as the beleaguered transit agency continues its Track Improvement Plan to eliminate slow zones.

Shuttle buses will replace service between the two stations until May 10, and the MBTA will offer shuttles serving the Ashmont spur of the line, which runs through Dorchester into Mattapan, beginning at 8:30 p.m. Shuttle service to Ashmont ends on May 9, according to the MBTA .

While this certainly amounts to a headache for many travelers, the T is offering free Commuter Rail rides between Braintree, Quincy Center, JFK/UMass, and South Station during the shutdown, giving commuters a way to avoid the shuttles.

During the shutdown, service at other Red Line stations will be less frequent, with Alewife trains headed to Cambridge arriving every 11-12 minutes and trains running to Braintree and Ashmont arriving every 13-15 minutes. Riders can expect even longer waits on the weekends, the T warned.

Brief shutdowns on other branches of the Red Line will follow after May 10. On May 11 and May 12, shuttles will replace service between Broadway and North Quincy, and a week later, on May 18 and 19, shuttles will replace service between Broadway and Braintree.

During those periods, shuttles will also replace Commuter Rail service between South Station and Braintree.

To get around on those dates, riders can either take a shuttle replacing the Red Line service or a Commuter Rail shuttle between South Station and Braintree as an “alternative express service,” the MBTA said.

And that’s not all.

On May 4, Green Line service will skip the Magoun Square station in Somerville. Riders trying to get to Magoun Square will instead have to rely on Route 80 and 88 bus service, which begins at Lechmere in Cambridge.

Later this month, the Orange Line will have service disruptions of its own.

Beginning on May 17 around 8:45 p.m., service will be suspended between Wellington in Medford and North Station. No trains will run between the two stations on May 18 and May 19. Service between the two stations will then end around 8:45 p.m. between May 20 and May 24.

The MBTA will run shuttles to replace service, and Bus Route 137 will be free during the closure beginning May 18.

Then, beginning on May 28, service will be suspended between Wellington and Back Bay until June 6. Free shuttle buses will make all stops between Wellington and North Station. Riders trying to get into downtown Boston are encouraged to ride the Green Line during that period instead.

One T subway line now has no slow zones

The blue line is running three minutes faster after the last set of speed restrictions was lifted, according to the mbta, by asher klein • published may 1, 2024 • updated on may 1, 2024 at 1:46 pm.

There are now no slow zones on the entire length of the MBTA Blue Line, the transit agency announced Wednesday.

It's the only T line with no speed restrictions, according to the MBTA's slow zone dashboard .

Two weeks ago, there were 16 restrictions on the Blue Line, limiting trains' speed on 38% of the line. But the agency closed down one stretch of the line for track work over a few weeks and used a full shutdown this weekend to finish it up.

The T says the work has sped up travel on the Blue Line by three minutes.

Over the weekend, we used the uninterrupted access to make necessary updates to the Blue Line. These full-access diversions are essential to achieving our goals set out in our Track Improvement Program, including removing slow zones for faster, safer service. #BuildingABetterT pic.twitter.com/kqfRXxmChN — MBTA (@MBTA) April 30, 2024

MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng and MBTA Chief Operating Officer Ryan Coholan were set to hold a news conference Wednesday afternoon to discuss the update.

There are 95 speed restrictions across the rest of the T as of Wednesday: 54 on the Red Line (18% of the track), 31 on the Orange Line (17% of the track) and 10 on the Green Line (2% of the track). The MBTA says that it's the first time in over a year that there are fewer than 100 speed restrictions across the system.

Slow zones are put in place for sections of track where it's not considered safe to run trains at full speed because of wear and tear on the track. The MBTA has targeted those areas for repairs.

Eng has released a plan aimed at removing all MBTA slow zones by the end of the year .
