As you may have heard, the MBTA is proposing fare increases and service reductions.The proposed service cuts include eliminating weekend service on the Mattapan trolley, as well as reducing service on some of the bus lines operating out of Ashmont Station.
One proposal calls for eliminating service on the #18 bus (Dot Ave from Ashmont to Andrew Station), either on Sundays or altogether.
Another calls for possibly eliminating weekday service on the #27 bus (Ashmont-Mattapan).
