As I said on this board I would, I took AMTK 162 last Sat. 5/6 from Wilmington to Back Bay, stayed in Back Bay, caught a Sox-O’s game at Fenway, went up the Prudential Tower, walked the Freedom Trail from the Common to the Constitution, saw BU, BC, MIT, Harvard and Northeastern - and helping me get around was the T, of course, with the help of an $18.00 3-day visitor pass that I bought and started using on Sunday.
Here are the segments I rode, added up…
Green Line (trunk) - North Station to Kenmore (the nearest stop to Fenway Park)
Green Line (B) - Kenmore to BC
Green Line (E) - Northeastern to Copley (rode that for $1.25 on Saturday)
Red Line - Park St. to South Station AND Harvard to Charles/MGH
Orange Line - State to Back Bay
Blue Line - Govt. Center to State AND Aquarium to Airport
Silver Line 1 - Logan terminal E to South Station (this is a bus with lowered pantagraphs that goes through the Ted Williams Tunnel and emerges at Silver Line Way where the driver gets out and raises the pantagraphs before the bus, now in trackless trolley mode, enters the tunnel to SS.
(Clarification: I didn’t ride the trunk of the Green Line from North Station to Kenmore in one ride, e.g, I’m just showing the various “total” segments of each line that I rode at one time or another during my stay. NS to Kenmore [plus those two branches] is just the “total” of my Green Line riding while in Boston.)
Also MBTA commuter rail (Providence line) - South Station to Back Bay, so I can say I rode the northernmost mile of the NEC, albeit not on an Amtrak train; I paid $1.25 for that.
Also MBTA bus route 86 from Chestnut Hill Ave. (transferred from the Green Line) to Harvard Stadium.
Also, the F4 Ferry from Charlestown to Long Wharf (the visitor pass is good on that, and also on buses).
On Wednesday 5/10, I took AMTK 171 home.
My first trip to rather than through Beantown. Loved it. Thanks Amtrak and MBTA.
