MBTA opens new Amory, Babcock Green Line stations on Monday
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority opened two new Green Line stations on Monday. Amory Street and Babcock Street stations, both on the B-branch, opened to the public at the start of service Monday. MBTA consolidated Saint Paul Street and Boston University West stations into the new Amory Street Station, while Babcock Street and Pleasant Street stations were consolidated into the new Babcock Street Station as part of the Green Line Transformation (GLT) project. The two new platforms replace four previous stops that would often create a bottleneck. The new raised platforms will offer easier boarding, safety barriers, digital screens and countdown clocks. MBTA is also using a new “Take the T”[ads1]; campaign in an effort to bring people back to public transport services. The Department of Transportation told Boston Bebud that bus, subway and commuter train riders were well below pre-pandemic levels in late October. MBTA says that they buy radio advertising and put up billboards in an attempt to get the cyclists back on track. The new promotion comes after the MBTA offered some Commuter Rail riders $ 5 Dunkin ‘gift cards last month to use the rail service.
