📰 News we're reading
• T's Green Line Service Suspended until Dec. 22 (thebostonsun.com) — Green Line service between North Station and several key branches is shut down through Dec. 22, making it harder for North End residents and visitors to reach the neighborhood during peak holiday season. Fare-free shuttles, buses, and accessible vans are replacing service, but riders should expect 20–30 extra minutes of travel, especially for events and gatherings near TD Garden and downtown.
