MBTA Orange Line Shuttle Schedule: Follow Along With NBC10 Boston

The Orange Line shutdown officially began Friday night, but the MBTA is facing its first real test with Monday morning's commute.

Patience will be critical for T riders and commuters in general, especially the first few days of this week, according to MassDOT Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver, who joined NBC10 Boston Monday morning to talk traffic impacts.

WE’RE OFF: I got the shuttle to myself so far as we test out the Orange Line bus route for the first Monday morning commute during the line’s shutdown. Just left Forest Hills station in JP. @NBC10Boston pic.twitter.com/tJiq1jIbry

I now have 5 friends on the Orange Line shuttle! One commuter is heading to work at Tufts, and already has his route planned, which involves a 10 minute walk. He doesn’t mind, but worries about getting to work on time when he’s on call and needs to be there within 30 min

We’ve gone through assembly station and now headed toward Wellington. Been on board for almost 30 minutes now. Pretty full bus!

I’m now heading back toward Government Center on the north route of the shuttle. Hitting some traffic, nothing awful, around Rivers Edge Drive and Revere Beach Parkway. A few stops into the route and still not a lot of people on the bus! pic.twitter.com/3lctCixeVB
