The MBTA is back at it again, making every Bostonian question if that two-mile walk to a friend’s house might just be faster than taking the T.

Here are the upcoming service changes to several different lines coming in March, according to their website.

For the Green Line between Feb. 20 and March 8:

There will be no B line service between Copley and Babcock Street. However shuttles will be available as well as the 57 Bus or the commuter rail will be free.

There will be no C line service between Copley and Cleveland Circle. However, there will be a shuttle bus service except for at Saint Mary’s, Kent Street and Brandon Hall.

There will be no D line service between Copley and Brookline Hills. Shuttles will be available between the two stops, and the train will run between Union Square and Government Center on a loop.

The E line service will not be impacted. However, wait times are expected to increase and the MBTA suggests taking the Orange Line, which will be fare free at Back Bay Station.

For the Orange Line:

There will be no service between Forest Hills and Ruggles on March 9 and 10, with shuttle buses as an alternative.

There will be no service between Jackson Square and North Station March 18-21.

Shuttle buses will make stops between Jackson Square and Back Bay, however the MBTA suggests taking the Green Line if attempting to reach downtown at this time.

For the Red Line:

There will be no service between Park Street and JFK/UMass during the weekend of March 2-3 and there will be shuttle buses as well as free fares at Park Street and JFK/UMass stations.

Shuttle buses will replace trains between Broadway and Ashmont stations on the Ashmont Branch and between Broadway and North Quincy stations on the Braintree Branch March 23-24.

On the commuter rail:

Haverhill Line trains between Ballardvale and North Station will be replaced by shuttle buses on March 9-10, March 23-24, and March 30-31.

The Newburyport/Rockport Commuter Rail Line on both branches will be suspended between North Station and Newburyport and North Station and Rockport will not be running March 23-24.
