I’m #deepDiving in our new rack today on the King Ghidorah show..gonna be a good one! Tune into 88.1fm @wmbr in Boston 2-4p, or stream online at wmbr.org Enjoy the sun!
No large surge included in this particular list of repair projects, but mostly 2-day weekend closures with some 1 and 3 day efforts. #chippingAway
In November, service diversions will occur on the Red & Orange Lines, plus @MBTA_CR Haverhill Line, to support improvement projects. Work includes subway track upgrades to remove slow zones, ATC implementation, & an emergency response learning exercise.

If you bike through #Dorchester to a Fairmount Commuter Rail stop, be one of the first 40 people to share your story and we’ll reward you with a $25 gift card: bit.ly/bikedorchester.
With @ABCTMA, we’re presenting the joys and challenges of #Dorchester biking. #Redline #MBTA
Call it the commuter train that could. With partial @MBTA Red Line shutdown, the Fairmount Line gets a chance to shine. These @MBTA_CR riders say: Fairmount is never late & it's the best commute they've ever had. bostonglobe.com/2023/10/16/b… #mbta
It’s good to have options. Ride all the way or make the short connection to the #FastFreeFairmount service direct to South Station.
Great to see @bostonbikeunion posting their recommended routes to ride all the way downtown during the #AshmontMattapanSurge. This mitigation was a huge team effort. @WalkBoston @BostonBTD @bikesnotbombs @MBTA @MBTA_CR @MattapanFoodFit @RideBluebikes
Ashmont shuttle from JFK is showing Star Wars, which I don’t dislike, but it seems like a lost opportunity for @MBTA to communicate @MBTA why the #AshmontMattapanSurge is happening, when it will be over, and what service will be afterwards. @transitmatters @StreetsBoston
Slick looking shuttle bus down from JFK to Fields Corner while the Ashmont/Mattapan Surge is on. Comfy but lots of traffic on Dot Ave (no surprise) so a slow ride. I’ll def be taking the #fastFreeFairmount train back to South Station at 2:08
Shuttle buses leaving Ashmont for trip to JFK..map app tells me ~45min total travel time to South Station. 7-min bike ride to Talbot will get you there in 16min, no transfers. #tryBiking
I have done the 16-min trip from South Station to/from Talbot a dozen times in the last week and it’s been #onTimeEveryTime. Just 7-min bike ride from Ashmont or 9-min from Fields Corner, the #fastFreeFairmount is a game-changer while #RedLine is closed bit.ly/try-biking
Thank you @BostonBTD for adding a temp bike lane on the busy part of Park St protecting riders heading west to Talbot Station to catch the #fastFreeFairmountLine for a 16-min ride to South Station. Give it a try? bit.ly/try-biking @MBTA @MBTA_CR @RideBluebikes
Such a great coordination to ensure people have options to connect to the #fastFreeFairmount not just during the RL shutdown, but every day. Route maps, free passes, riding resources at bit.ly/try-biking
⚠️New Stations⚠️
NEW: Talbot Ave T
NEW: Four Corners/Geneva T
The City of Boston has been working with the MBTA and other community partners to add more stations in Mattapan and Dorchester this month to support biking during the Red Line shutdown.

Wayfinding plus pop-up bike infrastructure helping people connect to #fastFreeFairmountService from Fields Corner during the #RedLineShutdown. It's a 9min ride on Park St to Talbot Station north, give it a try! bit.ly/try-biking @streetsblogMASS @taydolven @leung
It's all hands on deck for the #AshmontMattapanSurge and there are still open slots handling public outreach for @ABCTMA's Guided Ride Series. $25/hour with flexible morning/afternoon shifts, sign up at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… @transitmatters @StreetsBoston @bostonbikeunion

And so it begins. The #AshmontMattapanSurge starts this morning. Red Line is closed but Fairmount Line is open..connect to Talbot Station by bike for a quick ride into town, toolkit and free @RideBluebikes passes avaiable at bit.ly/try-biking
Red Line/Mattapan Line: Shuttle buses replace service from JFK/UMass through Ashmont and Mattapan through October 29 due to track work. Ride for free on the Fairmount Commuter Rail Line during this closure. More alternative travel options: MBTA.com/RLWork

#DitchTheDrive and Ride your Bike @MBTA Free East Boston Ferry ⛴️ during the Sumner Closure @Gigi4District1
Mully retweeted
Today, “women in transit and climate justice” from @StreetsBoston, @GreenRootsEJ, @ABetterCity, and @BostonHarborNow joined @Gigi4District1 to highlight the free @MBTA transit alternatives to the Sumner Tunnel closure. 🧵
Psyched to see the new @RideBluebikes station at Lewis Mall. Will support bicycle access to the free @MBTA ferry during the #SumnerTunnel shutdown, especially via the East Boston Greenway. It was full when I took a bike 20min ago! Great usage so far..
