Reply to comment by tasharact in Does the MBTA give you alternative transit options when a line on the T shuts down? by tasharact

FYI for next time in case no one's mentioned it, most of the stops on the B branch are super close to stops on the C branch, which runs down Beacon. You can probably walk about 5-10 minutes depending on how fast you are from BU Central to St Mary's Street, which is the stop right before the C heads underground. If you're trying to get downtown that's likely easier and less stressful than trying to figure out buses or waiting for shuttles to get to you. (You can actually even walk to the D if you have a few additional minutes too. You'd be surprised how close all the green line branches are.)

And I think it’s the 57 bus that runs along a lot of the B line to Kenmore Square (it’s been a long time since I’ve taken a bus in that area so I might have the wrong number)

Yep, the 57 bus is the replacement for the defunct A brach of the Green Line, which used to split from the B branch at Packards Corner, so it runs along the B branch from there to Kenmore.
