The MBTA implemented new train protection systems on the Green Line in October, which serves the West End via the North Station and Science Park stops. The technology upgrade aims to improve safety and reduce delays for commuters traveling through the neighborhood.
The system uses automatic controls to prevent trains from exceeding speed limits and to maintain safe distances between cars. MBTA officials called the rollout a major step forward for passenger safety, though some riders reported minor service disruptions during the initial installation period.
