On June 13, 1925, Ipswich Street service was cut to Massachusetts–Chestnut Hill, which ended direct service between Chestnut Hill and downtown Boston. In March 1926, the Huntington Avenue and Ipswich Street lines swapped outer terminals, with Huntington Avenue trains running to Chestnut Hill to restore direct service. In December 1928, the BERy began running South Huntington Avenue cars express over Huntington Avenue during the evening peak. The Longwood Avenue shuttle was converted to bus on June 22, 1925. Rarely shown on maps, it was discontinued in 1942 (after an abortive 1934 plan to run the Cypress Street–Kenmore bus over Longwood Avenue); not until the introduction of route in 1972 was Longwood Avenue again used for transit. The Washington Street shuttle was converted to bus on April 24, 1926. It was redirected to Brighton Center on June 23, 1928, and eventually became route 65. The rails were removed for scrap during World War II.
