Chestnut Hill Avenue is a stop on the MBTA Green Line's B branch from Boston College to Government Center. It is between South Street and Chiswick Road. There is no parking available. There are two platforms for trains going Westbound and Eastbound.

Accident

On May 14, 2008, at around 1:30am, a Boston College bound train derailed just before the Chesnut Hill Avenue stop. It struck a nearby utility pole which brought down the overhead wires, causing the trolley to catch fire. Train service was replaced by buses well into the next afternoon. No injuries were reported, but the trolley suffered significant damage.

Bus connections

Connections to MBTA buses 51 and 86 are available at Reservoir Station, a short walk down Chestnut Hill Avenue.
