The MBTA is reminding riders that Green Line C branch service will be suspended between Kenmore and Cleveland Circle for twelve consecutive days, May 6 – 17.
MBTA will continue the installation of critical Green Line Train Protection System (GLTPS) infrastructure on the C branch during this service change. When complete, GLTPS will combine vehicle and wayside equipment to avoid train-on-train collisions, incorporate speed enforcement, and more.
Riders can find complete information at mbta.com/GreenLine. More information on these service changes and alternate travel options is below:
•Free and accessible shuttle buses will replace service between Kenmore and Cleveland Circle.
•Shuttle bus service will not be available at Saint Mary’s Street, Kent Street, or Brandon Hall in both directions. Riders should instead utilize shuttle bus service at the next nearest stop.
•Additional service will be added to the Green Line D branch during this time period. Riders who board or disembark at Cleveland Circle are encouraged to instead utilize D branch service at Reservoir, which is 0.1 miles away (or about a two- to three-minute walk).
•Riders using shuttles bus service should budget ample extra travel time. For example, a rider travelling to Government Center from Cleveland Circle should budget at least an additional 15 minutes of travel in additional to their regular commute.
