The Silver Line now runs from Dudley Station to South Station. The bus is called Silver Line 4, SL4 on the maps, and it went into operation today. Bostonist joined a throng of real reporters and state and local politicians on the first SL4 to South Station, which left Dudley a little after 1 p.m. and arrived a little after 1:30 p.m.

The SL4 project, which was funded by federal stimulus money, represents the missing link between the Silver Line that runs down Washington Street and the one that goes to the airport. Traveling down a dedicated bus lane on Essex Street and ending at a swanky new bus stop across the street from South Station, SL4 will run every 10 minutes during peak service times and every 15-to-20 minutes during off-peak times, supplementing existing Silver Line service.
