See also [[How ==Switching from North Station to switch South Station== Getting from North Station to South Stationin Boston is necessary if you are taking the train or bus from points north (for instance, Williams) and want to take the train to points south (for instance, New Jersey or [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Williams-Mystic_Program Mystic]), because no train goes through Boston. To expedite your travel, follow these directions. Estimated time: 20 minutes.You will need $1.25. Once inside North Station, follow signs to the T. (The symbol for the T is a black T with a circle around it.) You will take an escalator down. You want the <b>Green</b> line towards Boston College, Cleveland Circle, Riverside, or Heath St. ([http://www.mbta.com/traveling_t/schedules_subway.asp T map]) If you have exact change, find a turnstile that accepts quarters. Otherwise, purchase a token for $1.25. Once inside the station, follow the signs to reach your train platform. Take the Green line three stops to Park St. Get off and change to the <b>Red</b> line towards Mattapan or Braintree and take it two stops to South Station. Alternatively, you can take the Orange line three stops to Downtown Crossing, then change to the Red line. However, the Orange line's service is much more intermittent and unreliable than the Green line's service, especially at late hours. Furthermore, the Green line is recommended if you are traveling alone at night, since Downtown Crossing is somewhat unsafe after hours (although the city is providing funds to the area to improve this).
