📰 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, sharply limiting how easily residents and visitors can reach the North End during peak holiday season. Fare-free shuttles, buses, and accessible vans are replacing trains, but riders should expect 20–30 minutes of extra travel time, especially for events and gatherings near TD Garden and neighborhood restaurants.
