There are escalators and stairs and an elevator from the platform level to the street/ticketing level. The station features visual and audible announcements of the next train in both directions, which is helpful. There are automated ticket machines for adding value or purchasing a Charlie Ticket. When I was here, there was also a red shirted "Can I Help You?" staffer to answer questions. Located between Forest Hills (outbound, the terminus of the line) and Stony Brook (inbound), Green Street is an island platform so the train doors will open on the left.

Green Street station has been good to me…read more Seeing as this is the first stop after a terminal station, the inbound trains are always on time and that right there makes for a positive experience. Not having to hear the PA system announce: "experiencing slight delays due to police action at such and such a station" while waiting for the train to work in the morning gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling all over. It is actually a very clean station inside too. We won't talk about the tracks further down past the platform - you could build a house with the amount of garbage gathered there - but there are trash and recycling bins a plenty, so there is really no need to drop your junk anywhere but in the basura. There is almost always an attendant manning the station. There is an elevator for handicapped citizens or mom's with strollers. Location is great, it empties you out within walking distance to the Arboretum, Jamaica Pond, the Brewery complex (although Stony is closer) and Doyles. I just can't find anything bad to say about this station - except - the hoards of English High School students who swarm the platform every afternoon from 2-3 pm. They are loud, rude and obnoxious. Model citizens in the making, if I may. Maybe I'm just bitter because I have to wait and ride with these heathens three days out of the week...if I only saw them once and a while, I probably wouldn't even mention it. But they ruin my ride into work. You can't hear your iPod. You can't concentrate on a book. You can't hear yourself think in between the hooting, screeching and swearing emitted from these unruly creatures. So I pretty much sit there, brewing, watching and listening to them, because I have no choice. Which is why I'm not a teacher at an inner city high school. Point in case. Otherwise, Green is the queen of the Orange Line!

Late evening at Forest Hills, I had dinner at a restaurant across the street where I could see the…read morevery long queues for people waiting on buses. Big crowds, lots of bunching about, it looked uncomfortable. In addition to the buses, Forest Hills is the southern terminus for the Orange Line. It does get some service from the commuter rail and while Amtrak passes through, it does not stop. The next inbound station is Green Street. For the Orange Line, it is an island platform. Signage indicates which is the next track to depart (if there's more than one train) and when. There is also some shelter on the platform if there isn't a train to board. The station is fully handicapped accessible with stairs, elevators and escalators (though in the evening, they were all "up only.") There is parking here for daytime commuters. The ticketing concourse has the usual turnstiles and automated ticketing machines to purchase a Charlie Ticket or add value to your Charlie Card.

Made of steel, glass, cement, and bad taste, it stands like a wart on the otherwise relatively attractive face of JP's Forest Hills section. The outside of the station features bus pick-ups and poor signage on three sides, a green line trolley stop that is marked despite it not being operational for over a decade, and crowds of people that are virtually impossible to penetrate. Once inside, things aren't so bad anymore. There's a little donut place called Mike's Donuts. Mike's Donuts has terrible coffee and pretty bad donuts. But if you need a donut and coffee, Mike's can sell you them. The news stand isn't bad, but they run out of the Globe by 8am most days. There are ample CharlieCard machines, and a big train platform. There is also fruit and flowers for sale. Security there is almost always a presence, so you don't have to worry about crime. Beware the bell system. The way it works is a bell rings, and then you have 30 seconds before the train leaves. In practice, the train's doors are often closed when this happens, or you might be sitting there for 5 minutes.

Extending the Red Line by 2.5 miles, the "M" Line is a streetcar/trolley that runs from Ashmont,…read morewhere it connects to the Red Line, to Mattapan, where there is a small loop and the trolleys cycle back to Ashmont. The full run takes about 9 minutes from end to end and stops through a handful of small stations. The line runs on PCC Streetcar stock, which was previously used by the Green Line. The cars were built by Pullman-Standard in 1945-1946 and have been in continuous service in Boston since their construction although they were rebuilt a couple of times since then. The cars are the very definition of "cute." There is seating and straps. All stations except Valley Road have been retrofitted with lifts or wheelchair ramps. All stations are above ground and have minimal services but still better than the outer stops of the Green Line. There are markings, some cover from the elements and announcements of the next train in either direction. If you are boarding at Ashmont, the transfer from the Red Line is free. As is the transfer from the M Line to the Red Line. If you're boarding the M Line from any other station, there is the usual fare.

Take the Red Line to the end of the Ashmont line and hop on the vintage orange trolleys on a short ride over to Mattapan.

Unlike other trains, the trolley stops at request at the various stations along the way.

The station is primarily built out of bricks, glass, concrete and stainless steel to compliment an aesthetically pleasing waiting experience. Alongside the structures materials, the station features displays of artwork in the atrium nearby the fare gates. The platform itself is an island platform with most of the waiting area covered by the overhang that is part of the station. There is plenty of seating space on the platform and during a rainy day the platform overhang keeps you dry. The end of the station features an amazing view of the trains rolling down the tracks towards the station. Definitely my most favorite part of this station is the end of the platform. Overall Roxbury Crossing Orange Line station is a great station. One of my personal favorites!

And was pleasantly surprised. I called to arrange a pickup from Roslindale to the airport for the next afternoon at 4 PM. Fred took the call and told us he'd be there. The next afternoon, I called at 3 PM to confirm and said he was welcome to come as early as 3:30. He was here at 3:25 and called us from outside to say he was there. The cab was clean and quiet and we had a nice chat on our way to the airport. He offered to pick us up a week later so I e-mailed him our flight info. He confirmed receipt. I e-mailed him that afternoon to confirm and called him when the plane touched down. By the time we'd cleared baggage, he was waiting for us in the limo lot. Again a smooth safe ride home and he even told me about a good new sub shop in the area. I cannot speak too highly of him and I've already recommended him to a friend. This is the way service is supposed to be.
