The route is divided into two panels, one showing Forest Hills to Huntington Avenue, and the other showing the remainder of the route to Back Bay Station. The maps include both a list of stops and a to-scale street maps. As such they have better information than the maps on the subway lines (including the Silver Line). The only similar maps are those on the MBTA’s electric trolleybus routes serving Harvard Square. BTWT first proposed these types of maps to the MBTA in 2003, as part of the now-defunct 39 Bus Task Force.
