New routing and end of long-term diversion for Route 47
On March 17, the MBTA made several routing and bus stop changes to improve travel time for riders on Route 47.
The MBTA began running Route 47 on upper Pearl Street from Green Street to Putnam Avenue after a long-term diversion as a result of the Pearl Street reconstruction project.
The MBTA also changed the routing to use lower Pearl Street between Putnam Avenue and Granite Streets.
Finally, bus stop locations on Pearl Street changed to more closely match bus stop locations for the Route 47 going in the opposite direction, toward Central Square.
