86 (MBTA bus)

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority operates the 86 bus between Sullivan Square and Reservoir/Cleveland Circle via Harvard. It connects the Orange Line (Sullivan) with the Red Line (Harvard) and the B, C, and D branches of the Green line. It can provide a faster connection between these locations than traversing the "hub and spokes" of MBTA's subway services. The 86 route is heavily used by those associated with the Boston College, Harvard, and WGBH communities. Few riders traverse the route from Sullivan Station to Cleveland Circle; instead, it is used primarily for shorter rides.Fact|date=September 2008

The 86 was an early bus route, added between the start of bus operations in 1922 and 1925. (, was discontinued; the part not covered by the 86 extension was part of the MBTABus|70 route.
