The Green Line

<p>I’ve only been in Boston on my own with a couple of my friends once. We used the green line to get to places but I really just followed my friends since they apparently knew where they were going. I feel that if I had been by myself, I would have gotten lost on the green line. There were just so many places you could get picked up and a bunch of stairs everywhere and it was kind of confusing for me. </p>

<p>So basically what I’m asking is, is the green line as complicated as I’m thinking it is. I suspect that I will be riding on it a lot since I’m probably enrolling at NU. I just have images of me getting lost and being late haha.</p>

<p>I take it you are not from New York City. You will get used to the Green Line and the rest of the T quickly:</p>

<p>Honestly, i live in a suburb of boston like 10 or 15 minutes out. i go in to the city maybe once or twice a month and its pretty easy. the only thing that can get confusing are the lines. like theres the different color lines that go to different places but theres also A,B,C and D lines on the green line when you’re going out of the city. this can get confusing if you get on the wrong letter. but once you’re in the city, its really easy to look at the maps they have and figure out where you need to transfer at the bigger stops to go to different places. i dont know if its cause ive done it since i was little, but finding youre way around the stations isnt too hard. if you look up a map of the T lines you can see how you would transfer to get on a different line. the commuter rail is also great to get to places out of the city</p>

<p>the green lines really simple. theres four different letter trains for the green line. neu is on the E line. so you just take it inbound towards prudential and if you want to switch letters you have to get off at copley or arlington. BU is on the B line so you’ll have to switch if you want to visit there.</p>

<p>Here is an old song (circa 1960) that laments a guy lost on the MTA, the predecessor of the T.</p>

<p>Always make sure you switch at Arlington, not Copley (even though it’s closer)… if you switch at Copley, you have to pay again.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s a lie when it shows the lines merging at Copley. They all go there- but to transfer you have to go to Arlington.</p>
