East Berkeley is better than many of the Silver Line stations with a proper bus stop that has overhead cover from the elements and there is some seating.

It allowed people to live without a car freeing up space and lessening pollution. Then came COVID-19. It hasn't been the same since. Now down to 6 hours a day it's a shadow of its former self. Better than nothing, but not quite what it was. What's especially sad about this situation is that the area is growing rapidly. Just as more buildings are being built and more residents and businesses moving in we have service cuts. This in turn forces new members of the community to own cars or resort to Uber or Lyft which brings more traffic into an already congested area. Add the 35,000 extra people flooding in during Red Sox games and concerts and you have to scratch your head and wonder why this bus route is always the target of cuts. Rather than the MBTA Promoting the benefits and convenience of using this bus service they slash service discouraging use. This isn't exactly a winning strategy for providing needed transportation within a congested and growing neighborhood. R. Houle West Fenway Boston, MA

One night, the bus driver dropped passengers off at a restaurant on Boylston St. that was between stops for no reason other than being a nice guy. This bus is a little specialized for those living in the Fenway area- but if you ever have friends that want to have drinks before going downtown, don't fret the walk! You can easily pick up the bus and be dropped off in prime locations on Boylston St. Going back, on the other hand, seems to take forever- I've only ever picked it up at Copley or outside the Prudential Center (Cheesecake Factory entrance)- but again, usually always on time.

The buses obviously have a much lower capacity than even Green line trains, so they can get pretty crammed during rush hour. However during off peak hours you rarely need to wait more than ten minutes for a bus to get you to your destination. The bus routes also overlap a lot, so there are usually multiple options to drop you within walking distance of a destination. The station its self has multiple signs to announce bus departures. Were you going to South Boston? Catch that 47 to Broadway, buddy. You want to hit Harvard square? Did you want to go through Allston on the 66? or up Mass Ave on the 1? Wherever you need to go, Dudley will connect to there pretty quickly. There are also a number of shops nearby. There is a Dunkin' Donuts if you need a quick snack, a fried chicken store, or Chinese restaurant right in the station. Sure, it is still outdoors, but you can grab your thing while still keeping an eye out for the bus. If you can go further afield, you can grab a quick bottle of wine for that party at the liquor store, last minute supplies at Walgreens, or hit any of the other small businesses right across the street. All of that is a clear win. It is not rail service, but service like this feels like that next best thing. That is great. Some reviews here go on to rate Dudley square as a neighborhood, and other bus riders. Sure, we can look at that. Like any transit hub, it attracts people with a lot of different agendas. Most of us just want to get from A to B. Some other folks at the station are beggars. Some are boisterously loud. Some are street canvassers. It is a public square, so any thing goes. However there is also a police station literally one block away. There are usually MBTA and Boston police parked right in the station, standing around in plain sight. While we might get annoyed with other riders, and they might be different forms of nuisances, this station is in no way unsafe. Just do your thing, and you will be home sooner than you know it.

I love that you can always connect to other buses from here too. The location isn't exactly the best in all of Boston but it is what it is, like other parts of major cities. At least it's in front of a Police Station -- perhaps that makes it safer? lol.
