Exit the highway, drive past the parking garage and turn left onto Blue Hill Drive, and take the left on in where it says "Amtrak/MBTA Pick-up & Drop off". Either entrance at the end will work. While the left side is more direct and closer to the Amtrak counter, the right side will take you past the Dunkin Donuts. There's a waiting area, the bathrooms are by the elevator, and only two tracks. 1 is outbound, and 2 heads into Boston. Simple. Start heading out when they announce that your train is arriving, about 8 min in advance. Head towards the right if you are Coach bound. Take a seat and the conductor will scan your ticket code and tuck a paper ticket above you. Take it with you if you change seats. If you go past NYC, the crew changes, and every passenger gets scanned again. If you are ADA and need access to one of their accessible seats, there's a way to mention it when buying your ticket, so the conductor will save you a seat in advance. Two bathrooms are available at one end of the Coach car. If the light is on, the bathroom is taken and the door locked. These are roomier than those on airplanes. So are the seats, although they otherwise resemble those found in planes with the tables that fold down and seats that recline back. 120 volt plugs are available, but no screens and no headset jacks, so no music. Stops are announced, so it felt that communication was pretty good on the train and at the station. Coming back and arriving on track 2, we had to exit and head up and over the tracks, where we could go straight into the garage, or take the escalator down by Dunkin Donuts. There's an elevator as well, which will take you to the bathrooms.

She told us about how we were close to Gilette stadium and told us about how we could get tickets to the game. This company is radio based dispatch. They can take credit cards but it's easier if you pay in cash. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because I know five star reviews get hidden.

Why I won't call them again: Unreliable, with a rude dispatcher…read moreTony's Tip: Give them a pickup time that's 5-10 minutes before you need the cab because punctuality is not guaranteed I've used Canton Town Taxi three times recently. The first time was when I missed my commuter rail stop late on a Thursday night. Granted it was past midnight. But it took 20-30 minutes to get someone to Mansfield to pick me up. Still, my experience that night was decent, and the dispatcher who works late night is a nice guy. He took my call the other night as well, as I was coming home from Boston, again after midnight. I called 20 minutes prior to my arrival at Rte. 128 station, and a cab was waiting for me when I exited the building. If those had been my only experiences, I'd probably have given the service four stars, as the cabs are sort of dumpy. However, my experience Friday morning (2/26/10) was a far cry from acceptable. For starters, I had made a request the night before for a taxi to pick me up at my house at 5:00 a.m. My car was being worked on and I needed to get to Rte. 128 station to catch a 5:24 train to NYC, which was already going to get me to a meeting a bit late (I had no choice because the blizzard in NYC had frozen flights into the city). The trip to Rte. 128 usually takes 10-15 minutes from my house in Norwood. I had gotten home at 1:00 a.m., so I was only going to get about 3 hours of sleep. Thus, I was trying to steal as much shuteye as possible. Well, 5:00 rolls around and there's no taxi (you'd have thought he'd arrive a bit early). So, I call to make sure someone is coming. The early morning dispatcher picks up (NOT the same guy referenced above) and tells me the guy is on his way - perhaps 2-3 minutes. I say, "okay." The clock hits 5:05, 5:06, 5:07... I call back and ask what the deal is. The same dispatcher tells me he's on his way. I tell him - firmly - that I had specifically requested the taxi not be late because of the train's departure time (which I had also mentioned). I now have a train coming in less than 20 minutes and that I'll be very upset if I miss it because in that event, I might as well not even head to NYC. Guess what this guy says to me? "You know what, buddy? That's not my problem," and he hangs up on me! WTF?!! Needless to say, I'm fuming at this point. Two minutes later (call it 5:10), the cabbie shows up. I race down to the car and hop in, at which point he proceeds to start telling me why he's late. I cut him off, saying, "I don't really care right now. You have ten minutes to get me to the train or my day is shot!" So, this guy hightails it out of my neighborhood, onto the highway (doing 70+ mph), and runs a red light right at the final intersection, as I arrive at around 5:22. I throw $25 (for a $23 fare) on his seat and sprint into the station just as the train's arrival is being announced over the PA system. Disaster averted, with just a minor assist from the cab driver. I give these guys two stars because my late night experiences have been okay, and the driver did race to correct for his late arrival. But given my reservation, being late in the first place is unacceptable, and there is no excuse for the unbelievable rudeness of the dispatcher. Perhaps he was having a rough morning - that happens to all of us. But this is a service business, and I hope my review serves to reinforce that idea to the dispatcher and his superiors.

Called these guys because my car broke down at the office and I needed a ride back into the city. I asked them if it was a metered rate or a flat rate, and was told it was a flat $66 from Canton to Cambridge. The driver showed up less than 15 minutes later, and it was all downhill from there. First off, even though the driver had a GPS he started out by driving down a dead end road and away from Boston. I asked him where he was headed and he replied "oh - so you know where you're going?" Once we got turned around and headed in the right direction I noticed that the meter was running. When I asked about it he replied that they "always run the meter", and suggested I call in and ask the dispatcher for clarification, so I did, and was told by the dispatcher that "they always run the meter", and that he "had no idea" why the first person I spoke with had told me it would be a flat fee. When I asked to speak to the person who quoted me a flat rate the reply was "she's out getting my dinner!" Apparently they took offense at my inquisitiveness, because the radio dispatcher called the driver and told him to stop and let me out. Bottom line - they do a bait-and-switch routine, figuring that once they have you in the cab they can charge whatever they want. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone aside from notifying the police or the attorney general's consumer affairs division. Do not call them under any circumstances!
