Shuttle (Ongoing)
Last Updated: 8/3/2017 12:12PShuttle buses, making all stops, will replace all weekend service on the Lowell Line from August 5th through October 1st due to the installation of PTC.
The MBTA will install federally mandated Positive Train Control (PTC) systems along the Lowell Line to improve safety by reducing train collisions and derailments. This work will require weekend shutdowns on the entire line from August 5 through October 1. To help passengers travel between Boston and Lowell, the MBTA is running ADA accessible bus shuttles (with WiFi and restroom facilities) that will make stops at every Commuter Rail station.
Lowell bus shuttle tickets are $4 one-way, and monthly passes will be accepted. Tickets can be purchased on-board, at the North Station Ticket Office, or at the Charlie van outside North Station on the corner of Haverhill and Causeway streets. -
