MBTA Addresses Orange Line Letter From Melrose, Malden, Medford Mayors
Mayors asked for express shuttles to Boston and increased Commuter Rail service ahead of the Orange Line shutdown later this month.
Updated Sat, Aug 6, 2022 at 12:05 am ETThe MBTA has already promised some shuttle bus service between Oak Grove and downtown Boston. It is also rolling out accommodations to allow riders in Commuter Rail zones 1, 1a and 2 to ride the train simply by showing a Charlie Card or Charlie Ticket. https://patch.com/massachusetts/melrose/mbta-addresses-orange-line-letter-melrose-malden-medford-mayors
Some specifics of the shuttle bus plan, in particular, remained to be determined as of Thursday morning, however.
The MBTA, in its statement, said it is working with Keolis, which operates the Commuter Rail, to finalize special Commuter Rail schedules.
Those will be posted as soon as they are completed, the MBTA said.
These developments and the local push by north-of-Boston mayors comes on the heels of an unprecedented announcement by state officials this week that the Orange Line will shut down from Aug. 19 through Sept. 18.
