Herald Street station is a street-level bus station on the Washington Street branch of the MBTA MBTA Silver Line bus rapid transit service. It is located on Washington Street just south of Herald Street in the South End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. In late 2017, the inbound stop was moved half a block north due to adjacent construction. The stop is served by the SL4 and SL5 Silver Line routes as well as several local MBTA bus routes. Like all Silver Line stops, Herald Street is accessible.
