Iconic Boston views! This stop is a drop off for the Esplanade, one of the most picturesque spots in the city, so it makes the area, including this outdoor stop a nice place to get off or wait for your train. Clean, pretty easy to orient yourself and the views! Did I say the views? It might have the best ones in Boston and beyond!

I am so grateful for his kindness

Close to the Rose Kennedy Greenway, underground metro (The "T"), buses, shopping and much more.

It is located underneath Interstate 93 but is still outdoors. You're covered from the rain and snow but not the wind or the cold. It is an island platform station, which means that the doors open on the left. There are audible and visual announcements of the next incoming train in either direction. There is no parking here. The station is completely handicapped accessible. There are turnstiles at street level and the usual automated ticket vending machines. The station is between North Station (inbound toward Forest Hills) and Sullivan Square (outbound towards Oak Grove).

Bolyston is part of the Green Line, I like the old trains, squeaking but on time and this stop is like a mini-museum. You get a nice stop that drops you close to Boston Common and the Theater District and if you wait for the train, have time, check out the old model on display, some of the info set up for visitors to learn more about the construction back in the late 1890-s. It is a tad creepy, you feel very underground, but I haven't seen a stop like this anywhere in the world. One of a kind!

An excellent station that is generally kept clean, except for a few mice running around the tracks…read more The tunnel Between Boylston and Park Street is the oldest continuously operating subway tunnel in the U.S. and sill used by every Green Line train. Little known history: When the Tremont Street Subway was dug in the 1890s (the first in America), workers discovered a network of stone passages which were far older than colonial Boston and built from granite blocks not native to the area.  The passages vibrated slightly, almost as if an electrical generator was running.  After one tracklayer dissapeared, chief engineer Howard A. Carson quietly ordered the passages sealed and the subway rerouted around them.  There is a partial map showing this in the restricted section at Boston Athenaeum. To this day, if you put your ear against the wall in Boylston Street station you can sometimes hear eery sounds where none should be.

Some stations don't have AC, just big fans and it's part of the charm for me. Park St is an important hub. You can stop here for Boston Common and other downtown destinations. You can change here for red or other green directions. It is a tad confusing, sometimes there's staff around. But you can manage. Trains arrive fast and I could have gotten the hang of them better longer I stayed. It makes it easy to get around town and Park st was a stop we used a lot for visiting or changing to other lines.

Even a devout atheist will find a recitation necessary upon arriving at the Park Street T station:…read more"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." I have not had the pleasure of visiting the valley of the shadow of death, but I have been told it is not unlike this T station. The screech of Green Line rolling stock scratching their rails; the wail of children in pain; the stench of a thousand decaying rats; the reddish brown splattering of feces on the wall; the endless tunnels and crevices wet with moisture and tears. They do not comfort me. Woe unto you, ye souls depraved! Its location is not inconvenient. A hop and a skip and a jump from: - the Tremont Street Burger King, - the Granary Burying Ground, - the Boston Common Frog Pond, - the AMC Boston Common 19, - the Washington Street Marshalls, - the Suffolk Dental Group, - the Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial. A true horror it would be to find oneself trapped in the Park Street T station. You step off the last train and the doors are already locked. Your dreams will be haunted by the screech of Green Line rolling stock scratching their rails; the wail of children in pain; the stench of a thousand decaying rats; the reddish brown splattering of feces on the wall; the endless tunnels and crevices wet with moisture and tears. The Park Street T station is best visited with the greatest amount of transience manageable, and even better avoided.

Right near if not attached to the TD Garden and only a handful of eateries. Makes me wonder if there is even a bathroom on the premises. I guess considering it is a commuter rail station that my options are fairly restrictive. A basic station and nothing more.

Eh- I mean why do you have machines scanning the tickets while you enter, just for you to go to the…read moretrain and have to scan your tickets again. This causes traffic build up and people can easily miss their train. Also half the time they don't even work, which then you have to jump in another line. I had a question and an employee did get an answer but she took so long my train was there and I almost just left her because she was slowly walking back to me like she had no care in the world. This place is chaotic as well. Between the Bruins games people, people partying and we got the cross fire of Salem people and Halloween weekend people - wasn't fun and finding our Lyft was a mess. I really didn't like this at all, and the train windows were so dirty you couldn't even see out of them. I guess it doesn't help it's directly under TD Garden so it makes sense for the madness but I'll pass.

July 5th-August31st 2023 FREE BLUE LINE ACCESS (other lines like red, green, and orange still needs…read moreto pay to get in) The Blue line will be free due to construction The best stops to get on the Blue Line in Boston and Revere would be Wonderland and Bowdoin. They're the first stops of Blue Line's outbound and inbound train, which means you get the first pick of seats! During rush hours, between 2pm-5pm it can become VERY PACKED especially at State and Government center stations, if near by Gov it'd be best to take the extra 3 minutes to walk to the Bowdoin Station. After 5 all the way to 1am, the blue line is mostly denizens of Revere and East Boston trying to get home from work. In bound trains are crowded noon to 5pm meanwhile outbounds train become crowded 2pm to 1am (depending on what day) The Bowdoin Station is a bit dark and not too well lit. The cleaners try their best to keep the station clean but the homeless/train riders tend to not respect the space and litter. Keep in mind that this station is NOT disabled accessible. The escalator has been broken for the past 2 years. If you need an elevator or escalator, Government Center would be your best station to hop onto the blue line. Avoid sitting on the benches because the homeless tend to sleep or release bodily fluids on those seats. Though for $2.40 a ride, it's not so bad! The Canada and Japan trains are much more expensive but much more efficient Safe Travels!

If you're going to give the Blue Line a run for its money, then you've got to start at Bowdoin…read more I've never been here before as this is the first time taking the Blue Line to anywhere other than between Government Center and the airport! Small station with only the one entrance that I could see. It is the southern terminus for the Blue Line, with the next station along being Government Center. The station is NOT handicapped accessible. If you need that, head over to that Government Center not far away that is fully accessible. Stairs were wet with rain today but there was an anti-slip surface on them and so it wasn't too bad. Inside, the usual ticketing machines and turnstiles with a train waiting to be boarded. Signs above indicated which was the next train to depart and when. Easy enough and other than the lack of accessibility, a good stop on the MBTA. Round number review #8900!

Yep that's definitely happened to me. Thankfully this one isn't located in the depths underground like Porter Square requiring multiple long stair cases/escalators to resurface. Aside from that logistical annoyance, I also have a horror story about how I was trapped on the red line trying to get to Seaport for an event for well over 40 minutes. There were issues with our train and if you know the Inbound line between Kendall/MIT to Charles MGH there is a vertical incline to clear the Longfellow bridge between the stations. (We didn't make it far before trouble happened.) Unfortunately the train struggled to climb and remained stuck waiting for assistance and updates. Disturbingly every 5 minutes or so we could feel gravity sliding the car back a few feet as well. I felt bad for the train operators who announced "we apologize for this inconvenience, we will get this train moving momentarily" every few minutes. The apology while appreciated lost the impact after the first few iterations. I was extremely late for my event, which thankfully I was not presenting or speaking. The worst aspect was we were trapped. No additional cars behind us until they decided to hitch our dead train to another to propel us to the next station where of course we all poured out at Charles MGH in the overcrowded station. Ever since that incident I have been wary of any red line delays.
