July 3, 2024 (BOSTON) - Keolis Commuter Services, which operates and maintains the Commuter Rail on behalf of the MBTA, has announced details for service on Independence Day this Thursday. The last trains leaving North and South Stations will depart after the Boston fireworks on all lines except for the Greenbush and Needham Lines. The regular schedule now includes late night service after 11:30 p.m. on most lines, so trains will leave at their advertised times. The last trains on the Worcester and Newburyport Lines will be held until 11:30 p.m.

The last Needham Line train will leave South Station at its advertised time of 10:15 p.m. and the last Greenbush Line train will depart South Station at 11:20 p.m. as scheduled.

Travel will be free on trains scheduled to arrive or depart from North and South Stations after 9:30 p.m. Passengers can also purchase a special $10 holiday pass for unlimited travel throughout the day.

If the fireworks are delayed, customers should check T alerts on the MBTA website or on X at @MBTA_CR_Alerts for updated departure times for the final outbound trains, as many trains will be held until the conclusion of the fireworks. Detailed schedules can be found at mbta.com/holidays.
