New, modernized Green Line cars to begin service by spring 2027

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority offered a first look at the future of the Green Line during an Oct. 30 event at Boston City Hall Plaza, where MBTA leaders showcased a mockup of the new “Type 10” Green Line car. The new cars will fully hit the tracks by 2031, replacing the Type 7 and 8 cars that are currently used throughout the Green Line branch with the goal of modernizing the trains and making them more accessible.
