Key Bus Routes are similar to local routes, but have policy standards for a longer Span of Service and a higher Frequency of Service. The Key Bus Route Network was designed to complement the MBTA’s light and heavy rail system and to ensure that all high-demand corridors have access to frequent transit service seven days a week.[1]
Initially, 15 routes were selected for the Key Bus Route system, based on their demonstrated heavy demand for service on all days of the week. The original Key Bus Routes were also chosen to provide high frequency service to areas of the region's urban core not served by light or heavy rail. The Silver Line, Boston’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route, heads the list of Key Bus Routes. In addition, one corridor that is served at a high frequency by two bus routes was assigned Key Bus Route status.[2]
