List of MBTA subway stations

This is a list of MBTA subway stations in Boston and surrounding municipalities. All stations are operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. This list includes all rapid transit, light rail, and bus rapid transit (BRT) stations currently open on the MBTA's subway system. As of December 2022, the system has 153 stops and stations served by the Green, Blue, Red, Orange, and Silver lines.[1] These range in scale from marked stops on the Green and Silver lines with no fixed infrastructure, to sprawling underground complexes at the downtown transfer stations. Stations are typically named after nearby streets, squares, neighborhoods, or institutions[2]—e.g., Park Street, Central, Chinatown, and Airport, respectively.

An infill station on the Silver Line at Day Square is planned for opening in late 2024.[3][4] One additional Green Line station, Mystic Valley Parkway, is proposed but not funded.

Closed with replacement

This listing includes stations that have closed during the MBTA era (since 1964), but were replaced with another rapid transit station. This includes stations rebuilt nearby on a different routing of the same line (such as Forest Hills when the Washington Street Elevated was replaced with the Southwest Corridor), temporary stations (such as Harvard/Brattle), and stations replaced with Silver Line stops (such as Dover). Most MBTA rapid transit stations have been rebuilt or substantially renovated on the same routing; these are not included.
