The meter maids are relentless in Boston and Cambridge, so feed the meters and carry lots of quarters. Drive as little as possible . If you are traveling to the suburbs for a campus visit, definitely take the car. But, when exploring the city, be sure to walk or take the subway. Built in 1987, the T is hailed as America s first metropolitan subway system.
Subway cars run above and below ground to convenient stations located in all of the hot spots.
Commuter lines connect with the T at Back Bay, Porter Square, South and North Stations. These comfortable trains run on a schedule that is available at most college admissions offices and all train stations. Grab a soda, sit back, read the paper and enjoy the ride.
