City Point

City Point was a transportation station in South Boston, Massachusetts, at the terminus of the former SL3 branch of the MBTA's Silver Line. It lacked waiting facilities for passengers, and existed solely as a turnaround for the buses on the SL3.The station was closed when the SL3 line was dropped in 2008 due to low ridership.The City Point area is still served by the #5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 buses, all of which terminate at City Point Bus Terminal on East 1st Street between M and N streets. All except the #5 were formerly streetcar routes. Service was converted to bus on the 7, 9, and 10 in 1953; they were some of the last Boston-area streetcar lines to be bustituted, and the #9 was one of the last two lines (the other being the #43, which was bustituted in 1961) to serve the Pleasant Street Incline. Streetcars last ran on the #11 in 1929.Until October 1985, when the modern turnaround loop was built, service ran to the former carhouse location at East 2nd Street and O Street.In May 2017, the MBTA announced plans to convert the layover facility at City Point to a passenger terminal with a platform, shelters, and seating.
