Government Center will close for two years on March 22, forcing thousands to adjust their commuting plans – and rant on Twitter.

With an average weekday Green Line ridership of more than 10,000, Government Center is the third busiest Green Line station – behind Copley and Boylston St. – in terms of how many riders enter the station. However, Government Center also serves the Blue Line, of course. When average Blue Line ridership totals are factored in, the station serves about 11,300 people per day, according to the MBTA’s 13th addition of Ridership and Service Statistics, released in 2010.

BostInno reached out to the T’s director of development, Joe Cosgrove, for updated information, but didn’t immediately receive comment.

How Traffic Flows in-and-out of Government Center…

With just .25 miles separating Government Center station from it’s closest stops, the use of shuttle buses during the closer could prove to be quite manageable – unless, of course, street traffic has other ideas.

Shuttles will depart Haymarket busway every 20 minutes, seven days a week, starting at 5:20 a.m. (6 a.m. on Sundays). The busway is just a short five- or- six-minute walk from Government Center.

If you’re a Hubway fan (or are about to become one because of the upcoming station closure), you’re in luck. There are eight Hubway stations within close proximity to Government Center. Boston’s bike share stations are closed for the winter, and will reopen in the spring.

BostInno reached out to a Hubway representative for an exact reopening date, but didn’t immediately receive a response.
