Changes to Bus Route CT1
Effective September 1, 2019
How This Route is Changing
Route CT1 will be eliminated. Almost all current CT1 stops are served by the Route 1 bus, and we’re adding service to the route so buses will arrive more frequently.
There are a few CT1 stops where the 1 does not stop, including those in the Boston Medical Center and on Green St. You may need to walk to a nearby Route 1 stop for service.

What You Can Expect
If you take Route CT1...
- To or from a stop on Mass Ave, board Route 1 at your current stop for service between Harvard Square and Nubian Square
- From Green St @ Magazine St, board Route 1 on Mass Ave @ Prospect St for service to Harvard, or on Mass Ave @ Pearl St for service to Nubian
- From the Boston Medical Center, board the 1 on Mass Ave
- If you board at Albany St opp Boston Medical Center, consider Mass Ave @ Albany St
- If you board at 88 E Newton St or 91 E Concord St, consider Mass Ave @ Harrison Ave
- Or, take the 8 or 10 to Mass Ave and then transfer to the 1
Why We’re Making This Change
By consolidating CT1 and 1 service, we're able to provide more frequent, reliable service between Boston and Cambridge on Mass Ave.
