The South Boston Piers Transitway between South Station and Silver Line Way opened on December 17, 2004, and SL2 and SL3 through service to the Waterfront and City Point areas began on December 31, 2004.
Silver Line Way served as the transfer point between these services and diesel buses to Logan Airport beginning in January 2005 until SL1 through service began on June 1, 2005.
SL3 service ended on March 20, 2009 due to low ridership, as the service was in direct competition to the more frequent route 7 bus.
A different SL3 service serving Chelsea began on April 21, 2018.

Present service consists of through trips on the SL1, SL2, and SL3 routes, with some additional rush hour trips that short turn at Silver Line Way.
A bus lane loops around the outbound side platform to allow the short turn buses to turn back to stop at the inbound platform and continue back into the Transitway.

In June 2019, Massport released a request for proposals for commercial development on Parcel H just north of the station, with the possibility of air rights development over the station itself.
