Was ist der unterschied zwischen green line und orange line

The subway is the largest part of Boston’s public transit system, with more than 700,000 trips each weekday. It is often referred to simply as the T (the “T” from MBTA—the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority).

The trains—or trolleys, as they’re sometimes called here—connect downtown Boston to communities within and near the city.

In this guide, we’ll talk about the basics of the system, and we’ll explore each line and where it can take you. Sit back and enjoy the scenery—each line runs at least partially above ground!

Getting to Know the Subway

Was ist der unterschied zwischen green line und orange line

Wherever you’re going in Greater Boston, the T can help get you there. Here are some basics of the subway.

There are 4 main subway lines—the Green, Blue, Orange, and Red lines—with 128 stops throughout Allston, Braintree, Brighton, Brookline, Cambridge, Dorchester, East Boston, Jamaica Plain, Malden, Mattapan, Medford, Milton, Mission Hill, Newton, Quincy, Revere, Roxbury, Somerville, and South Boston.

All routes operate 7 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.

Did you know? The country’s very first subway tunnels are still in use today under Boston Common. The Tremont Street subway opened in 1897 as North America’s first subway tunnel. It’s still in use today, connecting Government Center, Park Street, and Boylston stations.

Learn more about the history of the T

A one-way fare on the subway is $2.40 with a CharlieCard, CharlieTicket, or cash. Reduced fares are available for eligible riders.

Passes for 1 day ($11.00), 7 days ($22.50), or the Monthly LinkPass ($90.00) are also available.

Learn more about subway fares and how transfers work


Did you know? The most popular pass for most commuters is the LinkPass, which provides unlimited travel on subway and Local Buses for a calendar month. LinkPasses are now available as a CharlieCard that automatically renews every month.

Most trains run between about 5 AM and 1 AM, and some lines have service as late at 1:50 AM. 

Service runs more frequently during rush hour, between 6:30 AM – 9 AM and 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM on weekdays.

See all subway schedules

Subway schedules are available in several formats:

  • On our website: Simply click on any line, and select “schedules from here” under any station. From there, you can see how frequently the train is scheduled to depart, as well as train locations in real time.
  • As a PDF: Download the subway schedule PDF, which lists how frequently trains run during different parts of the day.
  • Paper printouts: Schedules are available at Park Street, Airport, Malden, Harvard, Haymarket (Green Line level), Back Bay, Downtown Crossing (Orange Line level), and Quincy Center. Schedules are also available at the State Transportation Building (10 Park Plaza) and 45 High St. You can also request them from Customer Support. Braille and large-format schedules are available too. 

We recommend using a real-time app, like the MBTA-endorsed Transit app, or the website to stay updated on departure estimates. 

If you have questions about schedules, call Customer Service at 617-222-3200.

The Silver Line is listed alongside train routes sometimes, but it's actually a bus! Some Silver Line stops are underground and use fare gates, just like subway stations.

Passengers traveling on SL1, SL2, and SL3 buses pay the standard MBTA subway fare. 

Passengers traveling on SL4 and SL5 buses pay the standard MBTA bus fare.

The easiest way to plan a subway trip is to use our trip planner.

Learn more about paying your subway fare


Did you know? The T has both trains and trolleys. What’s the difference? Trains are used on heavy rail systems (like the Blue, Red, and Orange lines), and trolleys are used on light rail systems (like the Green Line and the Mattapan Trolley).

At stations, there are countdown clocks that offer estimated train and trolley arrival times. Aboveground stops may not have these, but real-time information is always available on our website or your preferred trip-planning app.

Each subway schedule page includes real-time arrival info under each station. Or, select your station from this list, and click the Departures tab.

There are also a variety of smartphone apps to help you plan trips on the MBTA. 

The MBTA-endorsed Transit app is the best way to plan your trips around Boston. Use the app to find the nearest subway stop, see when the next train is arriving, and find out how long your commute will be. 

Download on the App Store   Get it on Google Play

If trains are delayed for any reason, we’ll post that info on our subway alerts page and each line’s schedule page.


Did you know? You can get notifications about delays and planned disruptions for the routes and services you use most with T-Alerts. T-Alerts are delivered via email or text message. 

Was ist der unterschied zwischen green line und orange line

The T gets crowded. We ask customers to follow a few rules for the comfort and safety of everyone on board:

  • Let passengers exit the vehicle before attempting to board, especially during rush hour. 
  • When boarding, please move all the way into vehicle, as far away from the doors as possible. This helps make room for other passengers.
  • Only take 1 seat. And if you have a seat and no other seats are available, please offer your seat to seniors, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.
  • Take off your backpack, and keep large personal items on the floor and out of the way.

Learn more about rider etiquette

Service animals are allowed on the T at all times.

  Non-service dogs are not allowed on the T during peak hours: 7 AM – 10 AM and 4 PM – 7 PM on weekdays.

  Dogs should be on a leash and cannot take up a seat, but there is room for them to lay down under the seats.

  Small animals like cats and rabbits should be kept in pet carriers. Please keep the carrier on your lap if possible and away from vehicle doors, especially during rush hour.

All upcoming stops are announced over an intercom system. All trains have full system and line maps posted inside each car, and some have digital screens onboard that show what stop is next. 

You do not need to request your stop on a Red, Orange, or Blue Line train, or on the Green Line when it’s underground—trains stop at every station. 

When Green Line trains are running at street level, you will need to request a stop. Press the yellow or black tape near the windows, or pull the gray cable near the ceiling of the train. 

Request a stop on the Mattapan Trolley by pulling the cable near the ceiling.
