Ah, public transport. I was getting on this bus at the Newton Highlands stop to travel 19 minutes…read moreto the Needham St & Oak St. stop. The bus was already running 15 minutes late because of the lunch hour traffic per my Apple Maps app. The bus was an additional 5 minutes late on top of that. The bus driver of this Wednesday mid-day route was lovely. He had a kind smile and quip for everyone who got on and encouraged passengers to help elderly folks who needed some assistance getting down from the bus. The stops were in great spaces, close to needed amenities. For example, I got on just a short pace away from the T station. That said, the signage needs updating because while they are in clear locations, the writing has become faded on the route signs.

Parking is also easy as there is a huge lot, and, it's reasonably priced. On weekends it's $3 and on weekdays it's $6. You pay right on the PaybyPhone app too which is convenient. Just like other locations, they have kiosks to purchase tickets/reload your existing CharlieCards. Trains depart about every 8-10 minutes but I suggest using the transit map on the Iphone for times as it's pretty accurate.

Meeting friends for dinner on Moody Street, I caught the commuter rail from North Station to here…read morewith no issue. The train is comfortable and the station in Waltham is fine. The rail here is single track, so they have two platforms at different ends of the station area. There is no kiosk for purchasing tickets but you can buy on board. They do have a board with the next train time on it and there are some waiting areas with the train schedule posted. There is parking and access to the boarding ramps is handicapped accessible.

But, in general it's a good station, with clean sidewalk.

This station is at surface level and is not handicapped accessible. They do have audible and visual announcements of the train in either direction and you can walk across the tracks easily to get to the other side. There is a heated booth where you can wait for the train or use the automated kiosks to add value to your Charlie Card or purchase a Charlie Ticket. Newton Highlands is between Eliot (outbound) and Newton Centre (inbound). [Review 9818 overall, number 1396 of 2018.]

What can I say, this is just your average MBTA station on the D line located in Downtown Newton…read moreHighlands. True rating = 2.5 stars This location has multiple sides for entrance and a heated Charlie Card kiosk. I sometimes get off here if I feel like just enjoying a more scenic walk than from Eliot. In the morning rush 80% all of the seats will already be taken so if you get on here expect to stand. One annoying issue with this stop is how far apart the platforms for crossing are and they are perfectly spaced so when the Train pulls in, it parks right over it! So you have to walk across the uneven tracks and still at that point if you are going Inbound to Boston you will have to wait until the train stops to desperately run to the front entrance. I've had several situations where I see the train is approaching but I can't run to the front of the train fast enough to get on!

I have lived on the B and C lines before and now that I live on the D line I can say that by far…read morethis is the best of those 3 lines on the Green Line services. I have had instances where it has run very late to the 'schedule' on the weekend but for the most part the weekday service is very consistent. My biggest grievance is that they don't always open all the doors so I can run like a manic down to the train and the front door is open but the back is not so I don't make it on in time. I have purchased a monthly pass every month for the past 6 years and even if I didn't they make a point of broadcasting that you need to come up and show your pass when they do open the doors. It would make the train a lot faster if they opened all the doors so people could get off and on faster.

I have seen the wonders of the Paris and NYC metro systems so I know what's up when it comes to riding a good system- you can't fool me. Although, I feel like I do owe you at least a small thank you for commuting my bum all around Boston-Brookline from time to time. Maybe after a kind, but critical review, you will finally tell me why you still remain annoying after all these years together. It's not looking like an equal relationship to me... Since I moved (and still remain) to Brookline Village in 2008, I have seen little to zero improvements on how you operate. This angers me. Sometimes you still take up to 20 minutes during ideal traveling times...this, I just don't understand. Especially on Sunday AM's, during Red Sox games and a little after 9AM weekdays. Sometimes you make me so late it's embarrassing how often I have to use the excuse "Oh, it's the train again." You're so inconsistent, I'm really ashamed of you! What have been the minute improvements? Well, MBTA did update your cars to three-car-trains, but I find little to no difference in this. Some Mondays on my way to work, I would wait for three trains to go by filled to capacity, and then boom a 3-car empty train will finally appear...but now I'm late to work. Thanks. And really, what IS it with all the stopping and starting? Can you give us a smooth ride and not have the poor little Jewish women falling all over the place? But, for the most part, I do like that when you finally decide to arrive, my train ride is only 10 minutes to Copley Square. Compared to the B and C lines...this is you're winning, and outstanding trait. It's a love/hate relationship, but you know...you get me where I need to go.

The cars are spacious and super-clean, with complementary bottled water and snacks. They do all of the heavy lifting with your luggage.

Plus, you can't find a more polite or informed driver than Jacob, our man behind the wheel for most of our trips.

The drivers at MetroWest are the most reliable, respectful, and trusted in the entire Boston area.

Our drivers are some of the nicest gentlemen we have ever met, even at early morning pickups they always greet us with big smiles. The cars are maintained to a very high standard, and their comfort level allows us to have a relaxing ride no matter the distance!

I like how there are multiple entrances to this and a path to go over Route 9 by the bridge. The only issues I've had in the past are the inevitable service malfunctions and when they decide to cut the route short they always stop at either Newton Centre or rarely Newton Highlands stop. Also during the winter this place can be very tricky to get to by foot since the City of Newton has a hard time keeping up with the shoveling/plowing and my trek to this station doubles!
