MBTA Better Bus Project

Below you will find MBTA project information, meeting schedules and proposed bus route changes that could impact Nahant residents who rely on on MBTA services.

Bus Network Redesign’s proposed bus network map is now available for your review at MBTA.com/BNRD. This proposal for bus service will create a more equitable network with more frequent service, better connections, and more all-day service every day. You can view the full proposal here.
