    Special Notes

    • ** - Special Extra Weekday Busses - The MBTA operates several special busses in morning and afternoon rush hours on school days that combine 2 or more routes traversing Roslindale which are sometimes referred-to as school time supplemental routes. See each bus schedule to see if such a route services an area of interest to you in the morning or afternoon. These are mostly utilized by school children going to and from school. Some of these additional school supplement routes divert from the numbered routes as well. Check schedules.

    • ** - Snow Routes - Due to steep terrains that these routes follow, during special declared snow events, these busses do not operate until roads are sufficiently cleared and treated. Current Snow Routes in Roslindale are #14, #30, 40, and #50.
