Red Line (Ashmont branch): Dorchester’s core stations are JFK/UMass, Savin Hill, Fields Corner, Shawmut, and Ashmont. At Ashmont, transfer to the historic Mattapan Trolley(light rail) serving eight stations to Mattapan. Service improvements on the Ashmont branch in late 2023 helped speed up trips. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
