Description: The MBTA Rapid Transit Station layers represents the station stops on the five subway, streetcar/trolley and Silver Line bus lines in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s rapid transit rail network. Stations are contained in a point feature class named MBTA_NODE. The five ‘T’ lines - Blue, Green, Orange, Red and Silver - are represented with linework in the layer MBTA_ARC. The layers were developed by the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS), with additional editing by MassGIS based on current information from mbta.com. The MBTA Commuter Rail lines are included in the TRAINS_ARC layer. It should be noted that the Silver Line actually consists of buses, not trains, but the line is included in this layer because the MBTA includes it as part of its Subway system map (see https://www.mbta.com/schedules/subway).

Description: This representation of the MBTA's rapid transportation network includes linework initially developed from MassDOT's rail inventory. Linework was extracted, and fields were refined to offer a clear representation. Additional Linework, specifically portions of the silver line were taken from MassGIS's rapid transit layer as well as MassDOT's road Inventory. Fields were refined to match the existing linework from the road inventory, and symbology was changed to match the respective lines' colors.
