TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums United States & Canada Boston T for visitors and areas to skip

I’m putting together a Boston plan and expect to use the MBTA a lot mostly Green/Red/Orange to get between Back Bay, Downtown, Cambridge and a couple of evening stops. For someone who doesn’t know the city well, are there any stations or stretches you’d avoid late at night or any lines that feel less comfortable after the crowds thin out? I’m not looking to stereotype neighborhoods, just trying to make smart choices and avoid walking into a sketchy situation by accident. Also, if you have do this instead tips best place to sit which exits feel safer when you switch to a taxi/rideshare, I’d appreciate it.

Not getting a single reply in 4 days, its really sad to me.

Boston’s T is usually fine, but late at night I’d just use normal big city awareness and avoid long empty waits on platforms. When we had late dinners and didn’t feel like dealing with a quiet station, we booked a pickup with Blue Nile Livery back to Back Bay and kept it simple.

I agree. In most cities I use the underground until 7 pm the cabs for the rest of the night.

6 days and no “Thank You”

Yea he got all pissy when no one replied to his post after four days now not a peep. Maybe he went to Boston and rode the train after midnight😂😂

Well, actually, he was a spammer, so he is gone, as is this thread.
