Red Line: Shuttle buses replace service between Alewife and Kendall from July 13-28. On weeknights from 8:30 PM to end of service, and all day on weekends, shuttles will extend to Park Street. Riders can use Commuter Rail at Porter. Starts Jul 13 Until Jul 29 Bus Route 77 will be fare-free within Cambridge.
There will be three free and accessible shuttle bus options for Red Line riders during this time period:
1. Shuttle buses will make all stops to all stations.
2. Express shuttle buses will make stops between Alewife, Porter, and Kendall/MIT.
3. A shuttle bus loop will operate from Harvard to Central to Kendall/MIT and back to Harvard.
Commuter Rail Options:
Riders are encouraged to consider the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line for fare-free service between Porter and North Station. Regular fares should be purchased beyond Porter.
An additional “shuttle train” will operate hourly between North Station and Porter. This shuttle train along with the existing service on the Fitchburg Line means trains will operate every 30 minutes on weekdays and every hour on weekends between Porter and North Station, essentially doubling Commuter Rail service.
