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.
