I got my luggage at Logan and needed a ride to Reading, MA. I looked out to the transportation…read morearea and saw a bus with "Woburn" listed. I hurried out to ask the driver where to buy a ticket and discovered no ticket was needed in advance. A ticket agent would come on the bus at Woburn to sell the tickets. $12 one way. $11 for seniors. The friendly driver took my large luggage and stored under the bus and carried my carry-on bag on the bus for me. And we were off! That fast. We made two other quick stops in the terminal and then headed up I93. The bus driver asked if anyone would need a taxi, 3 of us did, so he called ahead and 3 taxi's were waiting for us when we arrived at the station. It was like clockwork! Previously, While my plane was taxing in on the runway I had called Woburn Taxi and Reading Taxi to check the fare from Logan to Reading. One was $75 and the other $65 before tips. So grateful the bus was there. And I discovered buses leave Logan every half hour. Definitely the way to go!

A fairly safe T stop. On the green line and outside. You tap yourself in at the front of the train…read more I felt fairly safe waiting at this station even at night. There is a little area that is enclosed with a heater similar to the one at the Fenway station. Unfortunately the heater was broken. A train comes by every 10-20 minutes at night, while in the mornings and noon it's every 5-8 minutes. The train around this area does go a little slow so leave for your destination early. Keep in mind if you get cold easily, don't sit by the doors. A breeze comes in every time they open the doors. If you sit in the middle or away from the doors the green line does heat up!

When you look at the "not to scale" map of the MBTA network, you might think that the B and C and D…read morelines are actually really far apart from each other. Except that out here, Reservoir station, Cleveland Circle Station and Chestnut Hill Avenue Station are within about five blocks of each other. An easy walk and maybe if you're riding the Green Line into the city, you'll have a quicker ride from Reservoir since there aren't as many stops between here and Kenmore. Reservoir is on the D branch of the Green Line. A solid above ground station, it has good cover to protect you from the elements, plenty of waiting area, audible and visual announcements of the next trains in both directions, and automated ticketing machines for purchasing a Charlie Ticket or adding value to your Charlie Card. The station is between Chestnut Hill (about a mile away, outbound) and Beaconsfield inbound. There are a number of bus connections upstairs.

The 350 bus runs from North Burlington via the Burlington Mall to Alewife Station in Cambridge. A…read morebus route that stops at the Burlington Mall seems like it would really come in handy, but the fact of the matter is, it runs so infrequently that it's really not. There are as few as one bus running per hour at times during the day where you'd really need a few more. And I don't know about you, but after a long day of shopping, the last thing I'd want to do is stand around, laden with bags, waiting for a bus that seems like it's never going to come. If you must do this, though, I advise downloading the Catch the Bus app, so you can at least sit in the food court until a few minutes before the bus arrives. That being said, this bus also runs through my neighborhood in Arlington en route to Alewife, so on the rare occasion where it shows up before one of the obscenely infinite number of 77 buses flying down Mass Ave, I'll hop on and take the T from Alewife instead of Porter. So for that, the 350 bus can have its moments of usefulness.

I lived in DC for 15 years and rode the Metro quite a lot. I…read morealso traveled to NY and rode their subway many times. This is world class right here. In this location you can't buy a ticket so if you don't have one you may not be able to ride. I had a paper ticket but not enough credit for the ride. The driver was very nice and allowed me to board anyway. Later on my trip I bought what is called a CharlieCard that allows you inlayed trips in a 24 hour period for $11 bucks. I rode to Copley Square and then Government Center and back to Longwood Medical. It was easy, on time, clean and quick. It seemed very safe and all the stations were clean and seemed safe. My only down grade of one star is that they don't tell you that in some locations you can ride for free. I like free but has I known, I would not have purchased the CharlieCard. Also, the stations themselves are not well marked. Fortunately I everyone I met and asked for help was very nice and gave me great direcitons. The other downgrade is that if there are alot of people standing, you may not see the 'next stop' info on the scrolling sign. Also, many of the stops did not have the name of the stop on the wall so you could confirm your location. Overall I thought it was a very good and affordable option for getting around a very big city.

Would have more stars if it was open later and had a bit more parking.

Coming from the DC area, I can compare this to the DC metro system. I will say that the Boston…read moresystem is significantly inexpensive than the DC one. For the Boston Metro you need a Charlie card and it costs a little over $5 dollars to go anywhere on the train. The train itself goes through a number of universities including Harvard and Northeastern. When I was there, they had several repairs going on but they made it very convenient with a bus to get you to another station. The stations were fairly clean and the staff were helpful. Great way to get to where you need to go.
