There are four main subway lines—the Green, Blue, Orange, and Red lines—with 125 stops throughout the region.

All routes operate seven days a week, and they all stop near Boston Common, right downtown: 

  • Green Line   Red Line  Park Street 
  • blue line   Orange Line  State Street
  • blue line   Green Line  Government Center
  • Red Line   Orange Line  Downtown Crossing

It’s easy to make connections to or from other subway lines, MBTA buses, Commuter Rail, Amtrak, and regional bus services.
