Commuter Rail to Support Passengers Ahead of Orange Line Surge
August 19 begins a 30-day full closure of the Orange Line by the MBTA to address a maintenance backlog and planned construction investments to return the system to a state of good repair.
The MBTA is encouraging Orange Line riders to plan ahead and consider Commuter Rail service as an alternative to the Orange Line during this time. We are ready with plans in place to prepare for the potential surge of passengers on the Commuter Rail.
