</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_Bay_Transportation_Authority" title="Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority">Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority</a> (MBTA) operates <a href="/wiki/List_of_MBTA_bus_routes" title="List of MBTA bus routes">152 bus routes</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Greater_Boston" title="Greater Boston">Greater Boston</a> area. The MBTA has a policy objective to provide transit service within walking distance (defined as 0.25 miles (0.40 km)) for all residents living in areas with population densities greater than 5,000 inhabitants per square mile (1,900/km<sup>2</sup>) within the MBTA's service district. Much of this service is provided by bus. In 2023, the system had a ridership of 91,459,700, or about 322,600 per weekday as of the third quarter of 2024. </p><p>Most MBTA bus routes are local service operated in <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a> and its inner suburbs and connect to <a href="/wiki/MBTA_subway" title="MBTA subway">MBTA subway</a> stations. Fifteen high-ridership local routes are designated as <a href="/wiki/List_of_key_MBTA_bus_routes" class="mw-redirect" title="List of key MBTA bus routes">key routes</a>, with higher frequency at all operating hours. The MBTA operates a five-route <a href="/wiki/Bus_rapid_transit" title="Bus rapid transit">bus rapid transit</a> service branded as the <a href="/wiki/Silver_Line_(MBTA)" title="Silver Line (MBTA)">Silver Line</a>, as well as <a href="/wiki/MBTA_crosstown_bus_routes" title="MBTA crosstown bus routes">two limited-stop crosstown routes</a>. Three smaller local networks are based in the nearby cities of <a href="/wiki/Lynn,_Massachusetts" title="Lynn, Massachusetts">Lynn</a>, <a href="/wiki/Waltham,_Massachusetts" title="Waltham, Massachusetts">Waltham</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Quincy,_Massachusetts" title="Quincy, Massachusetts">Quincy</a>. Several express routes operate from suburbs to downtown Boston. </p><p>The MBTA has an active bus fleet around 1,040 buses with <a href="/wiki/Diesel-electric_transmission" class="mw-redirect" title="Diesel-electric transmission">diesel-electric hybrid</a> or <a href="/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas" title="Compressed natural gas">compressed natural gas</a> propulsion. Replacement of the full fleet with <a href="/wiki/Battery_electric_bus" title="Battery electric bus">battery electric buses</a> is planned. The entire bus system is <a href="/wiki/Accessible" class="mw-redirect" title="Accessible">accessible</a>; all vehicles are <a href="/wiki/Low-floor_bus" title="Low-floor bus">low-floor buses</a> with fold-out ramps. </p><p>Most routes are operated directly by the MBTA. Four suburban routes are run by private operators under contract to the MBTA, while several small circulator systems are run by other operators with partial MBTA subsidy. MBTA-operated buses operate from nine garages, one of which is under reconstruction and a second planned for replacement. Several sections of dedicated right-of-way for MBTA buses have been opened in the 21st century, including two off-street busways for the Silver Line and a number of dedicated bus lanes. </p><p>The modern bus system descends from <a href="/wiki/Boston-area_streetcar_lines" title="Boston-area streetcar lines">a network</a> of horsecar and electric streetcar lines built in the 1850s to 1910s, which were consolidated under the <a href="/wiki/West_End_Street_Railway" title="West End Street Railway">West End Street Railway</a> and later <a href="/wiki/Boston_Elevated_Railway" title="Boston Elevated Railway">Boston Elevated Railway</a> (BERy). The BERy introduced buses in 1922 to replace lightly-used streetcar lines and expand into new areas. Over the next four decades under the BERy and Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), all but six streetcar routes were converted to bus or trolleybus. Most trolleybuses were phased out by the 1960s, but four routes lasted until 2022. The MBTA took over the MTA in 1964, and several private suburban bus operators over the following two decades. Many routes have been modified during the MBTA era; the agency introduced crosstown routes in 1994 and the Silver Line in 2002. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=MBTA_bus&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg/220px-MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="137" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg/330px-MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg/440px-MBTA_Arborway_Yard_in_1967.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1123" /></a><figcaption>Buses at <a href="/wiki/Arborway_Yard" class="mw-redirect" title="Arborway Yard">Arborway Yard</a> in 1967</figcaption></figure> <p>A number of <a href="/wiki/Horsecar" title="Horsecar">horsecar</a> lines were built in Boston and surrounding towns in the second half of the 19th century, beginning with the <a href="/wiki/Cambridge_Railroad" title="Cambridge Railroad">Cambridge Railroad</a> in 1856. Several smaller companies were consolidated into the <a href="/wiki/West_End_Street_Railway" title="West End Street Railway">West End Street Railway</a> in 1887. The West End began electrifying existing lines and constructing new streetcar lines; the last horsecar lines ended in 1900. The West End was purchased in 1897 by the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Elevated_Railway" title="Boston Elevated Railway">Boston Elevated Railway</a> (BERy), which had been created to build a <a href="/wiki/MBTA_subway" title="MBTA subway">rapid transit system</a> in Boston. As that system was constructed in the first two decades of the 20th century, many streetcar lines were cut back from downtown Boston to rapid transit stations. Stations like <a href="/wiki/Sullivan_Square_station" title="Sullivan Square station">Sullivan Square</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nubian_station" title="Nubian station">Dudley Square</a>, <a href="/wiki/Forest_Hills_station_(MBTA)" title="Forest Hills station (MBTA)">Forest Hills</a>, <a href="/wiki/Harvard_station" title="Harvard station">Harvard</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Andrew_station" title="Andrew station">Andrew</a> were built as transfer stations with easy connections between subway and rapid transit. </p><p>Some small companies operated buses in Boston as early as the 1910s.

The BERy also attempted in the 1920s to make the <a href="/wiki/Tremont_Street_subway" title="Tremont Street subway">Tremont Street streetcar subway</a> operate more like a rapid transit line, using trains of streetcars entering the subway from a small number of feeder lines, rather than single streetcars from numerous surface lines.<sup id="cite_ref-july10_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-july10-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/69_(MBTA_bus)" class="mw-redirect" title="69 (MBTA bus)">Harvard–Lechmere streetcar line</a> was converted to trackless trolley (<a href="/wiki/Trolleybus" title="Trolleybus">trolleybus</a>) on April 11, 1936 – the first route in what would become <a href="/wiki/Trolleybuses_in_Greater_Boston" title="Trolleybuses in Greater Boston">an extensive trackless trolley system</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As increased automobile usage reduced ridership and increased congestion, the BERy and its 1947 replacement Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) continued to convert streetcar lines to bus and trolleybus.
