Schematic map of Green Line branches and stations. The Green Line's core is the central subway, a group of tunnels which run through downtown Boston. [10] The Tremont Street subway runs roughly north–south through downtown, with stations at Boylston, Park Street, Government Center, Haymarket, and North Station – all with connections to other lines of the MBTA subway system.
Stylized map of the Boston subway system from 2013. The map does not reflect changes since, including the 2014 opening of Assembly station, the 2018 start of SL3 service, and the 2022 opening of the Green Line Extension. This is a list of MBTA subway stations in Boston and surrounding municipalities.
Massport operates the Massport Shuttle, a free bus service between Airport station, the four airport terminals, the rental car center (RCC), offices and cargo terminals on the south side of the airport, and the MBTA boat (water ferry) terminal. Airport station is served by routes 22, 33, 55, 66, and 88. [4]
Many of these facilities are former streetcar carhouses that were gradually converted to trackless trolley and bus use, although some like Southampton (built 2004) are of recent construction. Of the former streetcar carhouses, only Arborway and Watertown were Green Line yards during part of the MBTA era. Everett was an Orange Line yard until 1975.
Southbound Green Line and Orange Line trains share an island platform, while northbound Green Line trains stop at the mezzanine level. North Station was the terminal of the Green Line until November 12, 2005, when the new tunnel opened and service to Lechmere resumed. [1] The station cost $262 million to construct. [16]

(The Watertown line became the A branch, while the Beacon Street line became the C branch.) [17] The MBTA experimented with changing the downtown terminals of the Green Line branches (unlike its predecessors, which had changed the downtown terminal of the Boston College line just twice.)
From 2000 to 2017, buses used a loop - originally built for the Green Line, but never used by revenue trains - at Forest Hills. [49] Whether to restore E branch service to Arborway became controversial; much of Jamaica Plain wanted the line to return, while the MBTA did not wish to resume using the long street-running section.
