GETTING TO KNOW BOSTON
WALKING Boston enjoys the reputation of being among the most walkable of major U.S. cities, and has thus earned the nickname "America's Walking City." In good weather, it's an easy walk from Boston University's campus to the Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Public Garden/Boston Common, downtown Boston and even Cambridge.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: THE T If you want to venture out a little farther or get somewhere a little faster, most of the city's popular attractions are within easy reach of our all-purpose method of public transportation, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), or "T" for short. The T offers service by bus, subway, above-ground trolley and commuter rail. The Green Line Boston College ? or "B" ? train runs directly through BU's campus, and stops right in front of Warren Towers. Take it inbound to all points in Boston and to transfer to any other lines. For more detailed information on destinations, routes, fares and schedules, visit the T's website at: or refer to the map on the previous page.
FARES: The T subway train costs $2.65 with a paper Charlie Ticket or cash-on-board, or $2.10 with a plastic Charlie Card.
NOTE: Government Center Station is CLOSED until 2016.
