List of MBTA subway stations
Stylized map of the Boston subway system from 2013. The map does not reflect changes since, including the 2014 opening of Assembly station, the 2018 start of SL3 service, and the 2022 opening of the Green Line Extension.
This is a list of MBTA subway stations in Boston and surrounding municipalities. All stations are operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority . This list includes all rapid transit , light rail , and bus rapid transit (BRT) stations currently open on the MBTA's subway system. As of December 2022[update] , the system has 153 stops and stations served by the Green, Blue, Red, Orange, and Silver lines.[ 1] These range in scale from marked stops on the Green and Silver lines with no fixed infrastructure, to sprawling underground complexes at the downtown transfer stations. Stations are typically named after nearby streets, squares, neighborhoods, or institutions[ 2] —e.g., Park Street , Central , Chinatown , and Airport , respectively.
An infill station on the Silver Line at Day Square is planned for opening in late 2024.[ 3] [ 4] One additional Green Line station, Mystic Valley Parkway , is proposed but not funded.
