I called for a quote but for some reason it was processed as an order. When I called to find out…read morethe cost for the upcoming trip, I was told by Joseph that he would have to call me back to give me a definite quote, because he was driving. He did say it would be around $50. I asked him what he needed if I decided to use service. He said that he needed payment info and to fine tune the instructions. I said I would keep it in mind and hung up. No money was exchanged and no confirmation was sent out. Since I did not receive a good vibe from him, I hired another company. The day of the pick up, he showed up anyway. My employer got in the car thinking it was the reputable company I hired, not Trusted Ride. When the ride was over he asked my boss for payment. My employer was confused as he thought the trip was prepaid. My employer called to let me know what was going on. I spoke with Joseph and told him that I did not hire him, the ride should have never happened and that any instructions would be considered cancelled since nothing was completed. He started yelling and arguing with me. Bottom line, he swooped in and stole the paid trip from another company. It was very shady and I will NOT use this service again. Future customers, be aware.

A ride on this reliable and off the beaten path route will take you directly to the best pizza in Somerville (the Paddock), will dump you in front of the Cock Block (Woody's, Wang's and Pini's) at Magoun Square, and dump you in Ball Square so you can get some REAL kick ass cupcakes at Lyndell's. I don't take this out much past Powderhouse, but it's a nice semi-scenic longway alternative to get to Arlington if you don't want to deal with tempestuous 87.

I'm 28 and do not have a driver's license…read more This is no mean feat especially given that I grew up in New Jersey where you are practically shoved into the driver's seat at the stroke of midnight on your 16th birthday. How I've managed this is largely due to never moving far from the reach of SEPTA when I lived outside of Philadelphia and then MBTA when I moved up to Boston. But the MBTA has not made staying car-less these past six years easy. But I will save my negative comments of those routes for other reviews because the #80 bus line is a shining example of all that can be wanted from a bus route! I first dabbled with the 80 to get to work when I lived outside of Magoun Square on days where the 101 was not cutting it for me. Despite several on-time and smooth trips to Lechmere laziness won out when I was living at my old place and I generally ended up riding the 101 to Sullivan Station to get to work because the stop was right in front of my house while the 80 was a ten minute walk away. Happily, when I moved to our new place in April I found out that the bus line that runs in front of our house was the 80. Since moving, my commute to work has improved drastically. Unlike other bus lines, when I used the MBTA trip Planner their estimated arrival times for the 80 were ALWAYS accurate within 3-4 minutes. "Bang on time" could be the motto of the #80 bus if the motto was being written by a blue haired old lady. Add to that in one route you can go to the Cambridge side galleria mall, connect with the green line into Boston, drop by Magoun square, Ball Square or Powderhouse Square, for amazing places to eat (respectively: Old Magoun Saloon, Ball Square Café, and Yoshi's), pop into the outer reaches of Davis Square or just take it all the way to the end and explore Arlington's fun main square. I have done all of these things and have never been late to work thanks to the 80. So if you ever need a positive experience with MBTA jump on the 80....

I visited this station for it's historical significance. Although not the original station (built…read morein 1875 ) in town, this building was completed in 1911 for the Boston & Albany Railroad. At it's peak, 140 trains were making there way through this station, daily. Over the years it has served a variety of railroads and switched hands multiple times. As routes were moved away from Worcester, ridership decreased and in 1972 Amtrak boarded up the building and began to use a much smaller brick building nearby as it's station. By 1992 a group of locals began efforts to rehab the old station to it's original beauty. After several years of effort and planning, during which the building was purchased by the Commonwealth of MA, the building finally began restoration and in 2000 the building reopened to railway passengers. A small part of the station is set aside for rail passengers. Here you'll find a map of commuter rails and a MBTA ticket kiosk. There is no Amtrak customer service available here. You can purchase Amtrak tickets originating at this station through their web site. There is a small waiting area, a Worcester public library book vending machine, a police substation and a QR code that will link you to a walking tour of the Blackstone canal area. There is an elevator up to the platform level and ramps down to the bus level. Three vending machines are available for snacks and beverages. Public restrooms are older but clean enough as public restrooms go. The main part of the building is a beautiful vaulted hall that can be rented out for private events. This area is closed off during event and open to the public when not in use. There are also two dining areas off this main hall and a parking garage next door. The official website has information about renting the event space. Another example of the beautiful historic architecture you will find in this historic city.

I lived…read moreright up the street for a few years in my childhood and most of my life it was boarded up and in disrepair. About 20 years ago they decided to remodel it and spent millions of dollars to renovate it and bring it back to its glory. Every time we would drive by I wondered what it looked like inside and think that I needed to check it out someday. So a few days ago as we drove by my husband said "do you want to stop and check out Union Station?" YES!!!! There is a parking garage directly behind it with easy access into the station. The station is HUGE (well, not as big as the NYC!) and we walked throughout checking everything out. The station was pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon and everything was closed (restaurants, coffee shop, police station etc), there was just a handful of people either waiting on a train or bus. The architecture was absolutely beautiful as most buildings built in this era were. I have no idea how well the ticketing and schedules work, but it is definitely a beautiful building worth checking out.

Below grade, it has an island platform so the doors of the train will open on the left. You will be out of the elements if you're waiting for a train here, but it still gets cold. As with all stations on the Orange Line, the station is fully handicapped accessible with stairs, escalator (up direction only) and elevator between the platform level and the ticketing concourse that is at street level. The station features audible and visual announcements of the trains in both directions. Roxbury Crossing is between Jackson Square (outbound) and Ruggles (inbound).

The station is primarily built out of bricks, glass, concrete and stainless steel to compliment an aesthetically pleasing waiting experience. Alongside the structures materials, the station features displays of artwork in the atrium nearby the fare gates. The platform itself is an island platform with most of the waiting area covered by the overhang that is part of the station. There is plenty of seating space on the platform and during a rainy day the platform overhang keeps you dry. The end of the station features an amazing view of the trains rolling down the tracks towards the station. Definitely my most favorite part of this station is the end of the platform. Overall Roxbury Crossing Orange Line station is a great station. One of my personal favorites!
