Savin Hill MBTA Station

This was my primary connection to the city of Boston & all it’s treasures so it is nice to see that the MBTA has really tried to maintain this station so the people have a safe & clean transportation facility. I have always witness cleaning staff on duty during the day. In almost a year of using this station the escalators have always been working which is a huge feat if you have ever been to other T stations. The next train signs are normally functioning here & always appreciated to take that edge of waiting off. The platforms are a bit narrow & cramped now that more people have moved into the area. It is nice to see the multiple entrance/​exits & some seating available seating but there could always be a bit more. At least there is a view of the Braintree line, the roaring commuter rail & the packed asphalt of 93.

Savin Hill is the best T stop, no doubt about it.
As others reviewers mentioned there’s no urine smell, the people just aren’t as creepy as the ones at other T stops, less people, out in the open, no rats or mice seen scuttling about on the tracks, and no buses to wait for.
I love the electronic board at the station that tells you when the next train is coming.
If it gets too windy it helps to wait on the staircase.

It’s the station closest to me. It’s usually pretty clean and you don’t have to wait too long for a train, especially if you time it with the CatchTheBus app. My favorite part of commuting this way is watching backed up traffic on 93 while my train whizzes into the station unhindered. Well. I mean, usually. It’s still the T, so expect delays occasionally.

This is a clean station with friendly staff, but its real strengths are the gems that it can lead you to. Just around the corner is McKenna’s Café, Savin Scoop, Savin Hill Supply, and the soon-​to-​be-​opened Savin Bar & Kitchen. Take a chance and get off at this T-​Stop and go discover this charming little block of stores and eateries.

Its better then others, less creepy people, somewhat cleaner and doesn’t smell soo bad. Also, I’ve never seen it flood, unlike Quincy Center, which has more buckets per square yard then people.
There is a coffee place in there, so you can get a cup of coffee while you wait.

I may be a little bias because I live a half block from this station, but I do like it better than other stations I’ve visited.
Its well lit at night, always clean, the Metro and Stuff boxes are always stocked. You can always grab an Iced Coffee from McKenna’s to enjoy while you are waiting for your train. I’ve chatted with the staff a few times, they’re always friendly, and they were very helpful when I first moved here.

Sometimes the best way to describe something is by comparison. And that’s how I best express my favor 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!
