The Lower Mystic Link is a free service open to the public.
The shuttle makes connections to the Sullivan Square Orange Line station and the Chelsea Silver Line/Commuter Rail station via Everett Square.
Identifying a need for improved transit connections in the region, the Lower Mystic Transportation Management Association (TMA) collaborated with the City of Everett and several major developers to revamp an existing, underutilized Encore community shuttle. The Lower Mystic Link will be the first in a series of Link shuttles coming to the Lower Mystic region in the future.
