BOSTON — Shuttle buses were replacing part of the MBTA Green Line on Thursday night following a switch issue near Copley station.
Service between Kenmore and Government Center Stations was suspended and passengers were “safely escorted to nearest station platforms,” MBTA officials said.
The MBTA tweeted just before 9 p.m. that the Green Line was experiencing delays “due to signal problem at Copley Junction.”
