This is the bus line in my town, it works. I wish it had better hours for nights and weekends but…read moreunfortunately that ain't happening I guess. In the mornings it runs alright an estimated 30 minute interval for inbound time for 'rush hour' and then hour during the day and a maybe 30-40 minute run time for outbound from Oak Grove. Same with into Stoneham.. I wish the times were better it's like I can either get to work wicked early or barely make it just in time. Same for times leaving Oak Grove.. you miss one you're waiting 45 minutes. The route could get condensed in some spots but other than that it's pretty direct and takes an alright average for me of 15 minutes. All and all, I like that Stoneham has the T bus in general. Thank you.

For someone living on the East Side of Melrose, this bus is awesome. Many will complain about it…read morebeing late, but that's only a minor detail. Anyone who takes this bus would have a much harder commute if it wasn't around at all, so they should just appreciate what they have. It runs every 20 minutes anyway so a missed bus isn't the end of the world. Speaking of the headways, the 20 minute peak headways make this bus extremely useful for people living in and commuting from the East Side of Melrose. For those coming from Melrose Highlands, it seems like a sort of roundabout way to get to Oak Grove, but the primary purpose of the route is serving those living on the East Side. Without this bus, I'd have to walk almost a mile to downtown or drive and pay a fortune each day to park at Oak Grove. One last thing that not many people know, it's a FREE transfer from subway to bus and a reduced fare from bus to subway. Each way will only cost $1.70 total. Can't beat that deal.

This is perhaps one of the best hubs north of the Hub. With access to the city and to Logan but…read morewithout the traffic to get here, it's perfect. The station is clean and well lit, with vending machines for a little snack as well as a Dunkin's inside. (I've forgotten to check in) I'll be happy to use this for my next flight and love passing here everyday.

I will often make nonstop flights out of Logan with friends who live in the Boston suburbs. But the…read morecost of ride-share and parking at the airport can be steep. The Logan Shuttle out of the Anderson Transportation Center is a nice option, a combination of reasonable prices and time. Besides the Logan Shuttle, it is also a stop on the commuter rail and Amtrak's Down Easter into Maine. Parking - if you can get it - is $7/day, and it's not a steep price to get there via ride-share. The shuttle to Logan is $11 each way but $9 if you purchase in advance. It's nice to sit in the general comfort of a bus. The inside of the center is clean but old. Seating is hardwood benches. The rest room is clean and functional but in need of repairs. Several areas that might eventually be food stations are under construction, and your only option at the moment is 2 vending machines. Allow a little more time to get to the airport if you use this method, but it's definitely worth it if you have that time.

Reasons Why I Love The 109…read more 1. I can go from my house to Sullivan in 20-30 minutes. 50000 hours if I had to walk. 2. It runs pretty good at the peak of the day. 3. I strengthen my anger management skills every time I take the bus and I manage not to beat the shit out of everyone on it because my claustrophobia is kicking in. 4. I can sleep on my way to the station in the morning if I have to leave early. 5. I weigh over 300 pounds and another fatass always likes to sit next tome so I can feel skinny. 6. I can avoid the 108 that leaves Malden Center and always has a crystal meth conference or a heroin symposium on it.

So basically, I love the 109 when it runs well, and despise this bus when it inevitably lets me…read moredown and comes 20 minutes late. I reviewed its' psycho sister, the 104. This bus runs basically the same route, but stays on Broadway through Malden and takes Eastern Ave to Linden Square in Malden/Revere. I need to go to Linden all the time, so this bus is definitely useful for that. Plus, they added 2 per hour after 8pm on weekdays that end at Glendale Square. Yeah, I'd rather have it go to Linden Square, but still useful nonetheless, as sometimes I need to get to Everett Square. It's only ever REALLY late on Sundays, which is the MBTA's fault more than the actual route. I think it stays on time enough considering how many people take it.

Used Oak Grove for the first time today (weekend trip into Boston, wanted something more flexible…read morethan the commuter rail). Easy in, easy out, parking was cheaper than my local commuter rail lot and the ticket in was a third of the cost.... About $10 for my family of 4. Seriously though some of the reviews here are useless in providing useful info on the station. Not enough spaces on weekdays...it is good info but it's MBTA wide and not an Oak Grove phenomenon. Only one entrance..... like most MBTA lots. Had to run for the platform.... like at least one person at every station at every departure does because they were running late for one reason or another (we've all been there... has nothing to do with Oak Grove) And my favorite, the 2 stars because the user didn't have a smart phone and couldn't figure out Pay by Phone which is in place at just about every MBTA lot.... (psst - MBTA will just mail you the bill + $0.50 which basically covers the postage). Did you ever find that under $10 parking near Long Wharf?

Surprisingly, the station has no services such as a coffee shop and there isn't very much nearby at all either. It has a single entrance and exit, which is also unusual. The station is in surprisingly good condition and repair. The station is an island platform and it is fully handicapped accessible. There are automated machines in the ticketing lobby for purchasing Charlie Tickets and adding value to Charlie Cards. There is an audible announcement of the next train to depart to Forest Hills and this is helpful in case you're close enough to run for it. There is also a visual board when you're on the platform. As mentioned, this is the terminus for the Orange Line. The next inbound station is Malden Center.

Even though it's not technically part of the station, the new Orange Line cars also make a big difference, this was my first time riding in one.
