Sick and tired of a slow commute on the MBTA? Well, starting today the Green Line will more than double their trips. Now, three-car trains will make a total of 32 trips each weekday on the Green Line. MBTA General Manager Richard Davey said the increased service is designed not only to make commuting more comfortable for existing customers but to also have capacity available for new riders.

In addition to more than doubling the number of 3-car trains on the Green Line’s B and D branches, the MBTA will introduce 3-car trains to the E branch (Huntington Avenue) for the first time.  This also means that 3-car trains will serve Lechmere Station for the first time in at least six years.

Last year, for the first time in many years, the MBTA reintroduced 3-car trains to the Green Line…on which 200,000 passenger trips are made each weekday.

“As I’ve talked with Green Line customers over the past year, train capacity is an issue that is frequently raised,” said General Manager Davey. “We have received that message loud and clear, and the MBTA is responding.”

However, some T riders complain this was a long time coming. And if you still find yourself waiting around for trains here are seven ways to prevent that in the future.
