Shuttle Buses Replace Some Red Line Trains: What It Means In Braintree

BRAINTREE, MA — Shuttle buses will replace some train service on the Red Line this week as MBTA officials perform track work.

The MBTA said the buses will replace normal service between Harvard and Broadway stops through Nov. 24. Shuttles won't directly service Park Street or Downtown stops, officials said.

What this means for Braintree is that trains will be fare-free between Braintree and South Station, and also between Porter Square and North Station. Service beyond Braintree and Porter Square will be a regular fare price, officials said.

This closure will extend to the JFK/UMass stop on Nov. 24, officials said.
