'We encourage everyone from near and far to grab your beach towels, leave your cars at home, and hop on the 716 to Houghton's Pond this summer,' said the MBTA's general manager, Phillip Eng.
No other changes to the route are expected this summer.
During the pilot program, the MBTA will gather feedback from riders and data to make future improvements.
