See How Some Bus Routes Changed on December 22, 2019

Updated on December 23, 2019

Riders wait on Massachusetts Ave in Central Square, Cambridge, while a 70A bus pulls up to the stop.

On December 22, 2019, the second round of Better Bus Project service changes went into effect. The first round of service changes started September 1, 2019.

We know that making changes to your bus route changes how you get to work, to school, and to the places you need to go in your community—and this year, we've spoken with many of you at your stops and at community meetings to hear how you need service to be better. These 2 rounds of changes are the outcome of those conversations, along with the feedback we received from bus drivers, planners, and consultants.

These updates will make our bus system more reliable, improve frequency, and make routes easier for riders to understand.
