The decision to keep a weekend schedule on the Red, Blue and Orange Lines continues a service reduction that began in June. And beginning next week, 43 bus routes will operate with less frequency during varying times of day.
Workers from RoadSafe Traffic Systems are pictured as they paint"Bus Only" on a lane on Clarendon Street in Copley Square in advance of the closing of the MBTA's Orange Line.
At the same time, dozens of bus routes will operate with reduced frequency starting next week as the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority grapples with ongoing staffing shortages amid a chaotic transit landscape. Tourists, too, will be impacted: The Orange Line provides riders with access to popular tourism destinations in the city including Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the birthplace of Benjamin Franklin, the Paul Revere House, the Old North Church, the Old State House and the site of the Boston Massacre.
MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak told reporters Wednesday that the transit agency is prioritizing safety and that the service reductions will remain in place until there is an “adequate level of staffing" at the MBTA's operations control center.that beginning next week 43 bus routes will operate with less frequency during varying times of day. Nine routes will experience some routing changes and over thirty routes will see departure time changes.
