With use of the MBTA down since the pandemic started, the MBTA has announced a significant rollback in services across Greater Boston as part of its Forging Ahead plan, leading to several bus routes in Arlington either being suspended or reduced.
The changes to service in Arlington include:
Suspend service on Route 79 (Arlington Heights to Alewife Station)
Suspend service on Route 80 (Arlington Center to Lechmere Station), contingent upon completion of the Green Line Extension
Consolidate Routes 78 & 84 (Arlmont Village to Harvard Station and Arlmont Village to Alewife Station)
Consolidate Routes 62 & 76 (Bedford VA Hospital to Alewife Station and Hanscom Air Force Base to Alewife Station)
