JUST IN: In the latest large-scale MBTA shutdown, trains between Bowdoin and Maverick will go offline from April 2-14. The T will offer shuttle bus routes as alternatives for Blue Line riders, said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak.
More than 25,000 Blue Line riders will need to trade their subway trains for shuttle buses for nearly two weeks in April in the latest large-scale MBTA shutdown aimed at accelerating the pace of maintenance work.
During that span, the T will run shuttle bus routes as alternatives for Blue Line riders, including both express and local options. The Bowdoin stop will not have any shuttle bus or train access, and trains will continue to run between Airport and the Blue Line's terminus at Wonderland. Other affected Blue Line stations include Maverick, Aquarium, State and Government Center.
The MBTA in recent years has embraced shutdowns of major segments of subway lines, trading the short-term inconvenience on riders for accomplishing repairs and upgrades in less time than it would take with weekend- and overnight-only work.
