On my last trip into Boston for the marathon, I would use this red line station if I needed stuff from Target or wanted to eat something before heading back to my nearby hotel. Target was conveniently located adjacent to this station. There were quite a decent few Asian restaurants all within walking distance from this station. read more

Above ground metro station serving Quincy MA, this station also features an 800-space parking area. It is handicapped accessible with elevators and escalators between street level and ticketing areas. There are audible and visual announcements of the next train in both directions. This station had a staff person here when I visited. The station is clean and free of graffiti. There are automated ticket vending machines so that you can purchase a Charlie Ticket or add value to your Charlie Card. North Quincy is on the Braintree branch of the Red Line between JFK/UMass (inbound) and Wollaston (currently closed for remodeling, so Quincy Center, outbound).

MBTA North Quincy Station - Redline Train pulling into North Quincy station on it's way to ashmont - Public Transportation Near Me

Well, it doesn't leak, so that's already a good thing. Most T stations don't but Quincy Center... bring an umbrella. North Quincy Station has no heating or cooling outside or in. Likewise, waiting areas lack any overhead radiators (which to be fair use a tremendous amount of electricity). The roof will protect you from precipitation, but not from wind (or a mix of the two). This station has an Island platform (you are in center, trains run around). Electronic signage tells you which platform holds what train, and when it is arriving. There are exits on both ends, with the north end having exits on both sides of the track. I do like that this end allows people to cross over the tracks without having to pay to "enter" the station. Both ends are fully accessible, with elevators serving all entrances. Station is clean and grafiti free, as others have noted. There is a bathroom right past the turnstiles at the north end of the station (or whatever the MBTA equivalent is called). As a pleasant surprise it had on my limited experiences been acceptable, especially for a train station. One of my gripes, however, is that the north end is supposed to be closed on weekends and holidays (citation needed). For the time being while Wollaston is being renovated they are keeping it open. Part of this, I'm guessing, has to do with the north side being closest to the local offices (State Street, Granite, Blue Cross, etc.). Station is also staffed, while the booths at the entrances are often empty, there's sometimes an MBTA official at platform level. read more

This station is terrible, especially for those who have mobility issues and use a rollator or wheelchair as it has been under construction for at least a year with no good access to the elevator at the Hancock Street entrance and there doesn't seem to be any way to enter that side of the station as it is roped off and having the other entrance on East Squantum Street to be used instead! The ramp to the side entrance is not smooth and, while not difficult for me to push my rollator, not easy for someone using a wheelchair! read more

Why not renovate 4 stations on the red line at the same time and bus everybody North Quincy? That's right they're renovating Braintree, Quincy Adams, Quincy Center, and Wollaston all at the same time so everybody at those t-stops has to take a bus to North Quincy. It's ri- goddamn- diculous. Why not load everybody from the buses on the same train at the same time and let the train sit there for 10 minutes so we can all miss the first pitch at Fenway? The only good news? The guy told me that pay for my parking afterwards, and then when I went to pay there was no one there to take the money. So I just left. read more

Another outdoor station (boo) but it does have "bust stop" shelters and a indoor area before the tracks on those really cold days. There is plenty of parking in the lot surrounding it, which is unique, for only 5 bucks a day. Its safe and clean, so a great stop. If you're thinking about moving to the area, and therefore reading this review, know that from 8-8:20 the trains can be all but impossible to get on to. And they really PACK into the trains, so when I say you can't get on, I mean think of those pictures of 20 college students in a phone booth packed. so - show up early, show up late, or learn to be REALLY aggressive. Also - buses seem to stop running here really early. read more

Good T station... quite honed there is a ton of parking here. Parking is also outside, which I prefer. One downside is... don't go late at night as it's a haven for muggers. Clean. Quick. Good location on Hancock Street, the T is renovating this station so the area is a bit of a mess. read more

When I first moved to Quincy, I had the pleasure of using this T station. I have no complaints...the only thing that sucks is when the MBTA is doing work on the tracks, and we have to get off at NQ to hop on shuttle buses. Ha...other than that, I have no complaints. It's clean, has clear signage, and seating available. Yeah it's outdoors, but it's cold...so bundle up! All T stations are outdoors on the South Shore... read more

This MBTA station is strategically located just south of Boston, across the Neponset River in Quincy. The parking lot is large and inexpensive, under $10 per day. Buses run from here to assorted routes in Quincy, including down Hancock Street, the main drag in Quincy. You buy a subway ticket, called a Charlie Card, from an automated machine via either cash or credit card. One way is something like $2.75. Even though the entrance for the parking lot is on Hancock Street, the actual pedestrian entrance is on East Squantum Street. There is an elevator on the Hancock Street side. The Squantum Street entrance is at street level and you must go down an escalator to arrive at the subway platform. From the Hancock Street entrance, you go up an escalator or elevator. The elevator is closed nights and weekends. The platform is outdoors and gets cold in the winter, spring, and fall so dress accordingly. Trains run every 5 minutes or so during rush hour and 15 to 30 minutes nights and weekends. From the North Quincy station, the redline goes south to Wollaston, Quincy Center, South Quincy, and Braintree, the southern end of the line. North, the MBTA redline goes to JFK Library/University of Massachusetts, Andrew, Broadway, and South Station where you catch commuter trains, Amtrak, and can walk to the financial district and the waterfront. The silver line commuter bus leaves South Station and goes to Logan Airport. From South Station, the red line goes through Boston and then into Cambridge. If you need a cup of coffee or other refreshments, there is a McDonalds next to the station. A Walgreen's is closeby. There is a taxi stand on the Squantum Street side, next to the bus stand, which is open and gets cold in the winter. If somebody is picking you up via car, they are best off getting you on the Hancock Street side as there is plenty of drop off space. Pickup parking on the Squantum Street side is small, crowded, and busy, only enough room for 4 or 5 cars max. If you are going to Quincy via the T to visit the Adams National Historic Site, you are best getting off at Quincy Center. The center of the North Quincy business district is the corner of Hancock Street and Billings Road, about a 5 minute walk from the North Quincy MBTA station. read more

As Wollaston is going through it's renovations, this station serves as the hub on the weekends for those looking to go into boston. Shuttle busses are available to bring riders from Braintree, Quincy Adams, Quincy Center, and Wollaston to the stop on the weekends. The MBTA team has done well and in my experience, always has plenty of shuttles to go around. The station itself is also relatively well kept in comparison to the other stops within the system. read more

One of the more cleaner and hassle free stops on the red line. I like North Quincy Station. Serves me a great deal when I have to use the T during emergencies, snow storms, etc. Here are a few key advantages: - Easy access for people coming from different directions of Quincy; whether Hancock St or Newport Ave - The 2 entrances are at the extreme ends of the station platform. Again, adds to the convenience of using this station - Close to a bunch of conveniences on the Hancock St side; including a Walgreen - Couple of fast food and other eating options: MacDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Applebees, Panera Bread, Basta Pasta, etc - Some important bus routes go through North Quincy and make it very convenient for locals and visitors alike Some other points to know: - The entrance near the Inbound Side of the platform (towards Boston) closes earlier than the other one I always find this T station very clean and safe. And good to have so many T options here in good ol Quincy!! read more

Lets face it, you pick a train station for how close it is to your house or your destination. I hope my notes here will help make your commute a tad easier. There are 2 entrances- West Squantum Street (southern) entrance is for pedestrians, bicyclists, buses and taxis only. There is a 3 car long curb cut that acts as a pick up/drop off area. As Yelper Bill M. said, this pick up/drop off is inadequate at all but the slowest times of day. Hancock St (northern) entrance is the entrance to the parking lot and the northern end of the station. There is a larger pick up/drop off area here. The Zip cars are also here. Pedestrians can come in this way but beware that at off peak times and weekends you will have walk down to the West Squantum St. (southern) end because that's the only part of the station staffed full time. Parking is $5. - cash only. I had a package stolen out of my car here once so beware of leaving anything in open sight. If you are driving near this station beware of crazy pedestrians crossing the street. There are some beggars here but mostly I feel safe at this station and in the parking lot. (I can't say that for every train station in Quincy.) There is a McDonald's on Hancock St.(at the edge of the parking lot) If you have taken the train home after a night of drinking this is a good place to kill some time while you sober up enough to drive home. There is a gate in the chain link fence so you can walk directly from the MBTA lot into McD's lot, it's near McD's drive thru. If you are taking the train into Boston in the morning there won't be any seats. If you need a seat you can ride the train south a few stops then get on a Boston bound train that has available seats. read more

MBTA North Quincy Station - N. Quincy Station - Public Transportation Near Me

Not a bad stop. Cleaner then others. Has a pick up curb. Thats a nice touch. Questionable characters here and there, but overall safe. If its raining or snowing you can wait inside. There is a working (!!) escalator. Staffed by at least two MBTA persons. read more

The MBTA employees at this station are really nice! Today a blind man on the street asked me for help getting to the station so I walked him over. I asked an MBTA guy if there was elevator access for the blind gentleman and he told me yes and also waived us through (woohoo free ride! a nice perk since I missed the previous train and ended up being late to my spin class!). He also came up to us again as I was walking the blind man to the elevator and informed him that an MBTA employee would meet him at his stop to help him. While it's probably protocol to do this, it was nice anyway! And if it's not protocol, then they are definitely super nice. Parking per day is $5. I used to have to drive to this station and park my car here when I lived a bit further away than I do now and I once left my car overnight. The next morning, I simply got a ticket for another $5. It was sweet - didn't have to pay any extra fees, just the fee for another day of parking there! Station is always relatively clean, too. read more
