Northeastern MBTA Station

Always crowded, you’re better off walking to the Brigham Circle stop if you want a seat and to avoid college kids.

Oldest underground transporation in the United States. Came to Boston for the weekend and jumped on the subway in Chinatown, headed towards the Museum of Fine Arts. Just by the looks and sound of the subway cars, it is apparent its rather old. The cars squeal like mad when they come to a stop, so be prepared for a high pitch noise. It’s not as busy and crowded as that of NYC subways, therefore there aren’t as many ticket kiosks. All-​in-​all, it was clean, the people were friendly and you won’t have to wait in line to buy a subway ticket.

It’s OK — depends on which side of the station you exit — outbound (much longer walk BACKWARDS towards the Y and NEC) or inbound (closer to the Y and NEC).
These stations are all SO dreadfully ODD in their construction.

I really hate waiting for the T here for a multitude of reasons.
1– it’s outside, and during the winter, it’s hella cold! not a fun time to be outside
2– it never comes. that might be the E line in general, but often it skips the northeastern stop because «there’s another train right behind this one». yeah, like another 10 mins behind.
3– it’s always crowded from the stops before, because everyone’s been waiting forever and no one has gotten to where they want to be.
4– i can’t even tell you how many times i’ve almost been hit by the damn train
the only good thing about this stop is that it’s in the open with lots of foot and car traffic going by, so i usually feel pretty safe at this stop.

More than once I’ve been patiently waiting for the E line, along with 34 983 249 billion other students, when a train has came rolling in and straight by the confused crowd. And since the train doesn’t come often, you can imagine our disappointment.
Take Ruggles if you can.

This is such a horrible place to have a T stop. Sure it might be convenient to campus, however, it is not worth me getting ran over by a subway when attempting to cross the street. Now, I will say I am not a complete moron, and realize that when a train is coming I shouldn’t be in its way… But you do see hordes of students walking near this stop, who don’t seem to get that. Perhaps NEU should offer a class on street crossing in metropolitan areas. Because, really, I do not want smushed student guts on me.
