ESSEX CROSSTOWN / ESSEX PLAZA

On Monday, February 16, 2026, Presidents' Day, we will operate on a Saturday schedule. MeVa offices will be closed.

We’re making the following changes to improve timing, access, and transfer connections:

Route 0 ESSEX CROSSTOWN/ESSEX PLAZA and Route 12 LAWRENCE CROSSTOWN From Monday through Friday, between 8:45 AM to 5:15 PM, Routes 0 and 12 will now run every 30 minutes. Outside of this time, the routes will run every 60 minutes.

Route 5 MERRIMACK PLAZA/DANA FARBER VIA WATER STREET Route 5 will now stop at Dana Farber at 1:55 PM, replacing the previous stop at 3:55 PM.

Route 15 WESTGATE PLAZA VIA HILLDALE and Route 16 WESTGATE PLAZA VIA WASHINGTON ST From Monday through Saturday, Routes 15 and 16 will now run every 45 minutes, instead of every 60 minutes. Riders can access buses to Westgate, Target, Business Park, and Haverhill High School every 22-23 minutes.

Route 21 ANDOVER SHUTTLE Will now run every 60 minutes, instead of every 70 minutes, and will no longer stop at Chestnut Court and Doctors Park.

When it snows, MeVa may temporarily adjust bus routes to avoid steep hills, tight turns, and unsafe areas. To make sure you catch your bus, please check online for active detours or call our office. Click HERE to view snow detours.
