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.

Great advice about using the number of boats as an indicator! That makes total sense. More options usually means better quality and variety to choose from. The Dry Tortugas sound amazing too. Thanks for the detailed tips and itinerary examples!
