GTFS schedules for Fall 2023 have now had their initial release.
The MBTA frequency map has an update to it.
Weekday changes aren't shown on this map as weekday service is higher than Sunday service, and plotting rush hour routes gets complicated due to school trips and school vacation weeks, and the midday gap in commuter routes.
Frequency increase (on the map):
* none
Frequency decrease (on the map):
* Orange Line down from 106 to 86 Sunday trips (Every 10 - 12 minutes -> Every 12 - 15 minutes) (< 101 trips) (Weekday service up from 116 to 125 trips), 23.2% service cut
* Green Line D down from 105 to 100 Sunday trips (Every 10 - 12 minutes -> Every 12 - 15 minutes) (< 101 trips), 5% service cut
Routing change (on the map):
* Route 238 eliminates the variant service and will instead follow regular routing.
Comparison with Amsterdam (again):
Old maps: Summer 2023 (2023 Q3), Spring 2023 (2023 Q2v2), Pre-slow zone map (2023 Q2), Original map (2023 Q1) (Oldest map available)
Other Fall 2023 Q4 changes that do not appear on the map:
* Green Line E down from 118 to 117 Sunday trips (Weekday and Saturday service change from 144 and 121 trips to 148 and 120 trips, respectively), 0.8% service cut
* Green Line B down from 116 to 114 Sunday trips, 1.7% service cut
* Blue Line up from 102 to 108 Sunday trips (Weekday and Saturday increase from 162 and 106 trips to 169 and 112 trips, respectively)
* Mattapan Line up from 92 to 93 Sunday trips (Weekday and Saturday increase from 146 and 96 trips to 147 and 97 trips, respectively)
* Red Line up from 103 to 117 Sunday trips (51/52 to 58/59 trips branches), (Weekday and Saturday service increase from 63/64/127 and 53/54/107 to 70/71/142 and 60/61/122 trips respectively)
* SL3 down from 88 to 85 Sunday trips , 3.5% service cut
* 69 down from 28 to 26 Sunday trips, 7.7% service cut
* 86 down from 26 to 24 Sunday trips (Saturday 38 to 36), 8.3% service cut
* 83 down from 20 to 19 Sunday trips (Saturday 33 to 31), 6.4% service cut
* 137 down from 18 to 17 Saturday trips, 5.8% service cut
* 77 down from 77 to 72 Saturday trips, 6.9% service cut
* 111 down from 205 to 204 Weekday trips, 0.5% service cut
* 57 down from 110 to 107 Weekday trips, 2.8% service cut
* 504 down from 39 to 35 Weekday trips, 11.4% service cut
* Various bus routes have school trips once again, I cannot filter them out easily from those with service increases. The claim from the MBTA for service increases on the 7, 9, 11, 31, 70, 86, 116, 117, 216, 220, 222, 225, and 230, seem to be correct.
