![]() “As someone who depends, like many Bostonians, on consistent and reliable MBTA service, I know firsthand how vital Route 28 is for the economic corridor that connects Mattapan, Roxbury, and Dorchester. The neighborhoods are home to families that pay a higher percentage of their household income on transportation compared to most other neighborhoods. It serves as a vital connection for the residents of Mattapan, Roxbury and Dorchester to the MBTA’s key bus, subway and commuter rail networks. The route runs from Mattapan Square to Ruggles Station by way of Nubian Square and Roxbury Crossing. Ridership is generally steady throughout the day compared to most other routes that see low off-peak ridership. Route 28 is one of the MBTA’s highest ridership bus routes both prior and during the COVID-19 pandemic, carrying approximately 12,880 riders every weekday pre-pandemic. Route 28 riders will be able to board buses at all doors without needing to pay a fare. Mayor Kim Janey has announced that the City of Boston will begin a free fare pilot on MBTA Route 28, starting August 29 for three months to November 29. ![]()
