context_page_description: City Point is a transportation station in South Boston, Massachusetts, at the terminus of the former SL3 branch of the MBTA's Silver Line. It lacked waiting facilities for passengers, and existed solely as a turnaround for the buses on the SL3.
  The City Point area is still served by the route 7, 9, 10 and 11 buses, all of which terminate at City Point Bus Terminal on East 1st Street between M and N streets. All were formerly streetcar routes. Service was converted to bus on the 7, 9, and 10 in 1953; they were some of the last Boston-area streetcar lines to be bustituted, and the #9 was one of the last two lines to serve the Pleasant Street incline. Streetcars last ran on the #11 in 1929.
  Until October 1985, when the modern turnaround loop was built, service ran to the former carhouse location at East 2nd Street and O Street. SL3 service ended on March 20, 2009.
  In May 2017, the MBTA announced plans to convert the layover facility at City Point to a passenger terminal with a platform, shelters, and seating.
