Silver Line (MBTA)
The Silver Line is the only bus rapid transit (BRT) line currently operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). It operates in two sections; the first runs from Dudley Square in Roxbury to downtown Boston, Massachusetts and South Station, mostly via Washington Street, with buses operating in reserved lanes. The second section runs from South Station to South Boston and to Logan Airport in East Boston, partly in a dedicated bus tunnel and also on dedicated surface right-of-way. Riders can transfer between the sections at South Station; transfers there between SL1 and SL2 and the Red Line - but not SL4 - are within fare control.

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or line:
“By right or wrong,
Lands and goods go to the strong.
Property will brutely draw
Still to the proprietor;
Silver to silver creep and wind,
And kind to kind.”

“A modern democracy is a tyranny whose borders are undefined; one discovers how far one can go only by traveling in a straight line until one is stopped.”
