Ruggles

"Yay Ruggles Station! :D Aria’s MBTA Station Review! Large MBTA station with buses and a commuter rail line. I like the big entrance with the name in stone. The cleanliness is average I guess. There's a parking lot and bicycle cage which is cool as well as a Dunkin Donuts and pizza place inside. Solid station 7/10"

"Usually im fighting off bird feces, buses leaving before they should and people trying to hustle the train. Today, there is an obvious pipe that burst overhead and is leaking some funky chemicals over bus 22 stop. Please fix it. I wish i could add a video so you could hear it. But since i have a toddler im not getting close."

"(CR) Ruggles is a beautiful station, especially with the new Track 2 platform. All Commuter Rail trains to/from Providence/Wickford Junction, RI, Stoughton, Franklin, Foxboro and Needham Heights stop here, while Amtrak services pass by (use Back Bay to board Amtrak). Southbound trains generally board on Track 1 or 3, and Northbound trains generally use Track 2 or 3. What's unfortunate about this station is that track change announcements generally don't exist, and you can't check for track changes once you go down to the platform. This is a major problem for inbound trains, as if you wait for an inbound train on Track 3 and it comes on Track 2 instead (or vise versa), you have to go up stairs, walk through the station and down the busway to the entrance to Track 2, which is very time consuming and will likely make you miss your train. Outbound trains switching tracks isn't a problem though, as both outbound tracks use the same platform. Both platforms have shelter, but I feel Track 2's could be better. The station is accessible by elevator for Track 1/3 and a level entrance for Track 2. The high platform allows for accessible boarding in all cars, but some other stations require boarding in the southern two cars to alight easily at your end stop. Announcements tell you when trains are arriving, the train number and the destination, and will also alert people when a non-stop train passes through the station."

"Its a trainstation in Boston, close to the Northeastern university. It's also close to the Boston fine arts museum. It's clean , has a dunkin donuts inside."

"I love the artwork on the outside. The inside could use a little more work but at least it is spacious. The open-space nature of it is kind of a mixed blessing - so cold in the winter! Also, when one is using this station for the first time, it can be a little confusing to figure out exactly which track your train is going to come on, and the signs aren’t super clear."
