It's this stop: Boylston St @ Prudential Center
I labeled it Prudential because that's what the Logan Express Back Bay calls that stop. I can see how it could be confused for the green line one though!
The decision for the buses to converge at Haymarket is definitely an interesting one. From what I can find, it was the original center for the overnight bus network pre-1960, way before the Silver Line existed. South Station is an interesting idea -- it'd make getting to the early morning commuter rail and Amtrak trains so much nicer!
I've never ridden it so I can't verify what's on the headsign, but it shows up as a 57 trip on the MBTA website and in the printed schedule (footnote B). I do know that the early 39 (shown as "192" on some maps) does say 39 on the headsign, and the early 89/93 (shown as "194" on some maps) does say 89/93 on the headsign. My understanding was that the 190-series numberings were just internal references, but maybe that wasn't the case originally?
Thanks! Yep, that's why I tried to show it as just a dotted line unlike the others.
I was initially going to leave it out since the 116 serves almost the same purpose, but I heard from a friend that the first inbound Logan Express will wait for the 57 bus to allow people to make the transfer -- so it was just too interesting to not include!
