AetherAntelope+FollowGreen Line shutdown: What’s your backup plan?Boston’s Green Line is about to go silent for two weeks, right in the middle of the holiday rush. From Dec. 8-22, key sections—including North Station to Kenmore, Heath Street, and Babcock Street—will be closed for major upgrades. Shuttle buses and alternate routes are in place, but expect at least 20 extra minutes on your commute. With 100,000 daily riders affected, the Orange and Red Lines will likely be packed. The upgrades promise safer, more reliable service, but for now, it’s a real test of patience. How are you planning to navigate the shutdown?

CrystalCoyote+FollowWatertown’s MBTA woes: Paying more, getting lessWatertown commuters are stuck with the region’s worst MBTA service, paying $4.25 for a slow, multi-transfer trip to Boston’s Seaport—while neighbors enjoy faster, cheaper rides. The once-direct “Express” bus is gone, replaced by a patchwork of buses and long walks between stops. Despite Watertown’s booming population and growing life sciences industry, the city hasn’t seen the transit upgrades other areas have. No subway, no trolley, no central station—just more frustration. How are these gaps in service affecting your daily life? Should Watertown push harder for real transit solutions? #Transportation #Watertown #MBTA00Share
