The city of Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority announced plans to extend the free Link shuttle bus service beyond Mission Hill to the Roxbury, Mattapan and Charlestown neighborhoods, with service set to begin in 2027. The expansion will be funded by an $11.7 million federal grant and is intended to link residents with nearby MBTA stations and routes, including Mattapan Square and Blue Hill Avenue.
The existing Link shuttle currently operates on Mission Hill, and the new routes will broaden its coverage with the combined support of the federal grant and the MBTA.
