A year into my quest to visit and review every single MBTA subway station in Boston, it is finally…read morecomplete with today's stop at Savin Hill. Savin Hill is on the Ashmont branch of the Red Line. It is an above ground station and is next to Interstate 93. It is between JFK/UMass (inbound) and Fields Corner (outbound). Located below the crossover of Savin Hill Avenue, the station is handicapped accessible with an elevator between the platform level and the ticketing concourse. There are audible and visible announcements of the next train in either direction. The station has the usual automated ticket vending machines to purchase a Charlie Ticket or add value to your Charlie Card. A staff booth was unoccupied when I was here in the afternoon. The station platform is covered but quite breezy. I would imagine it gets very cold while you're waiting for a train. Woohoo, I have now been to every station on the Red, Orange, Blue and Green lines from Lechmere to Reservoir, Forest Hills to Oak Grove, Wonderland to Bowdoin and Alewife to Ashmont. Woot!

Sometimes the best way to describe something is by comparison. And that's how I best express my…read morefavor of the Savin Hill T stop... I could walk to either JFK/UMass or Savin Hill. I live exactly halfway between, in consideration of both time and distance. I choose to walk to Savin Hill, despite it's a step backwards in my commute (to Central Square) One of Savin Hill's best comparative features is that it DOESN'T smell like urine! Another is the cleaning crew I see at least a few mornings a week. The station was renovated a few years back, and they really manage the up-keep well. On the first of the month, the staff here is always very helpful while people struggle to buy the new month's LinkPass. And though this has nothing to do with the MBTA, there's a coffee shop, a dry cleaners and a bar all within 100 feet. Savin Hill FOR THE WIN!

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.
