MBTA Bus Routes In South Boston
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority operates a number of buses in South Boston, Boston, Massachusetts, all of which connect to the Red Line at Andrew, Broadway or South Station.
All of these routes terminate at City Point at East First Street and O Street. They approach it via East First and a one-way pair on P Street (south/west bound) and Farragut Road (north/east bound). All buses but the 11 turn west onto East Fourth Street (westbound) and East Broadway (eastbound), with westbound buses running north a block on L Street to rejoin eastbound buses at L Street and East Broadway.
Until Spring 1982, buses used East Fourth and P in both directions to the old North Point Carhouse at East Second Street. This was inherited from the path of the old streetcar tracks.
The waterfront area is also served by the #4 North Station - World Trade Center via Federal Courthouse & South Station, as well as the 448, 449 and 459 express buses to the Lynn area and the very-limited service early morning #171 between Dudley and Logan Airport (which may not stop in South Boston).

Famous quotes containing the words bus, routes, south and/or boston:
“I’d take the bus downtown with my mother, and the big thing was to sit at the counter and get an orange drink and a tuna sandwich on toast. I thought I was living large!... When I was at the Ritz with the publisher a few months ago, I did think, “Oh my God, I’m in the Ritz tearoom.” ... The person who was so happy to sit at the Woolworths counter is now sitting at the Ritz, listening to the harp, and wondering what tea to order.... [ellipsis in source] Am I awake?”
—Connie Porter (b. 1959)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“this planned
Babel of Boston where our money talks”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
