Making Public Transit More Accessible

Our Mission
Boston Lines was born from a simple but crucial need: to provide an easy and accessible way to find real-time schedules and detailed information about Boston’s public transportation system that isn’t readily available in a clear format on many other sites.
We believe public transportation should be easy to understand for everyone, from local residents to tourists visiting the city for the first time.
Our Vision
To be the most reliable and comprehensive source of public transportation information in the Greater Boston area, providing accurate data that helps thousands of people navigate the city efficiently every day.
We constantly work to improve the user experience and add new features that make trip planning even simpler.
