Boston is one hour closer to becoming a city that never sleeps. The MBTA announced extended service on bus routes and extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays across certain modes of transportation.

Gov. Maura Healey and MBTA General Manager Phil Eng announced these fall service changes, which will take effect on Aug. 24, during a press conference Tuesday.

“The whole goal is to make transit more available to people,” Healey said. “You’re going to get a public transit system that you deserve that is an option for you, that works for you.”

Every day, bus routes 23, 28, 57, 111, and 116 will extend service for one hour. Daily headways will be shortened by 30 seconds on heavy rail trains and there will be better service across the Red, Orange, and Blue lines, Eng said.
