station. This route is the successor to streetcar service which once ran on Dorchester Avenue from South Station to River Street in Milton. The next station to the south, Fields Corner, is a major bus transfer station. Until the 1960s, four bus routes including the 18 terminated at Savin Hill. However, the M.T.A. desired to build a parking lot at the Savin Hill busway location. In September and December 1962, the 13 and 14 routes were rerouted away from Savin Hill to keep buses off local streets, while the 12 and 18 were combined into the modern 18 route.
