Back of the Hill is a surface stop on the light rail MBTA Green Line "E" Branch, located in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is named after, and primarily serves, the adjacent Back of the Hill apartment complex, a Section 8 development for elderly and disabled residents.
Contents
Back of the Hill is the least-used stop on the MBTA subway system, averaging only 35 riders per day by a 2011 count. It is one of only four stops to average fewer than 100 riders per day. Despite this, it is kept open to serve the apartment complex and because of its low operational impact: it only delays riders using adjacent Heath Street and shares its infrastructure with a bus stop.
