On Tuesday, May 12, we were joined virtually by Erika Mazza, MBTA Senior Advisor on special projects. The briefing focused on the MBTA's preparation for summer 2026 and more specifically the World Cup. This briefing provided transit updates as well as an overview of key dates and events.
The MBTA will be providing express train service between South Station and the stadium in Foxborough for up to 20,000 people per match, with trips running under 60 minutes. The MBTA has constructed an 800-foot temporary boarding platform in Foxborough to accommodate this increased passenger volume. In addition, the MBTA will be providing extended late-night bus and subway service.
