We didn't really know what to do at the start because there weren't any instructions of how to purchase a ticket. Apparently you can just put your card to the turnstile and it will credit you for a ride and open the gate. Ignore others jumping the gate. It's not right and others we talked to said eventually people get caught jumping the gate or drafting people through.

There should be more seating, but that's a symptom of a nation-wide problem with anti-homelessness. The empty space along the wall is pretty noticeable, though. The entrance to the station is on the side of the Marriot Hotel and while it is conveniently located, it's a little hard to point out to tourists. Look for a glass triangle poking out of the ground.

Maverick Square seems pretty decent and is certainly much improved since a revitalization of the area began in 2010. The station is a center island platform with stairs, escalator and elevator from the platform level to street level. It is between Aquarium and Airport station on the Blue Line. There are a number of buses that stop at the station at street level. There are also a number of small shops that look to cater for the commuting crowd including a Dunkin, a convenience store and a dry cleaners among others.

We tried booking the direct train for a concert in Foxborough at the Gillette stadium but it sold out in advance online quickly. We then took the regular train, bought tickets at the desk and the workers were super friendly and helpful and told us where to go and it would tell us where our train track would be departing from. It was very bustling on a Thursday afternoon, once we got our track everyone ran to try to get a seat. Lots of stores and restaurants. For 3 adult one way tickets it was about $26 in total so a little over $8 a ticket one way for an adult. Located in the middle of town and not too far from hotels and public transportation. Took less than an hour to get to Foxborough and was pretty convenient.

Yelp Review 2026 #208:…read more We took a train from South Stadium to "Boston" Stadium (Gillette Stadium) for the World Cup and back. The station was buzzing with people rushing to get to work and futbol fans trying to get to the stadium. Police were everywhere. World Cup volunteers and train station staff were very helpful and patient. We paid $85 for roundtrip train tickets from Boston to Foxborough. Normally, it's under $20. We booked the 9am train which is boarding group A. We started lining up to the side of South Station. They had free sunscreen, water, and bug repellent wipes for us. We didn't board until after 9:45am and it was chaotic. Some people were running towards the train instead of staying in an organized line - most of them were foreigners that don't believe in rules, manners and decorum which is beyond the station's control. The train was open seating. There are food stalls, shops, and pharmacy at South Station. The restrooms are not the cleanest as one would expect from a train station at a big city. We've also used this station to get to different parts of Boston before and after the World Cup. The trains were alright.

It's my end destination to get to work and takes me right back home about 8 hours later. I take the Orange Line part of it but in the past I have been on the Blue. Maybe I'm used to it or just to be expected and not surprised about different issues people talk about. To me, its not really a huge deal. Should they have Charlie Card boxes on the "secret" entrances to the station, yes. Do I need that box, no. Helpful though perhaps to others. No true complaints, it's the T.

It's right by Suffolk University, and the State House. It's where you can cross from the Blue to the Orange lines though that was a little confusing for me. It's relatively clean, but kind of busy and crowded so that could be a little intimidating if you're jet lagged and unfamiliar with the area. I recommend that you look at a real map before you come here, Google Maps Walking won't work well downtown but especially not in the underground part of the station.

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.
