How to switch from North Station to South Station

that line was insulting to Williams students' intelligence
There will be a line of turnstiles that accept tickets. To the left of this will be an office with a line in front of it. Immediately to the right of this office, on the left of the turnstiles, is a turnstile that accepts quarters. Put in your six quarters and go through the turnstile. Go down the stairs. You want the train on the left.
Make sure you are on the <b>orange line, headed inbound, towards Forest Hills</b>. Take the orange line three stops: Haymarket, State, and then get off at <b>Downtown Crossing</b>. At Downtown Crossing, change to the <b>red</b> line. Take the red line towards Mattapan or Braintree, but NOT Alewife.
(Mattapan and Braintree lines split off later; you are only taking the red line one stop.) Take the red line towards Mattapan or Braintree one stop. Get off at South Station.
* Note: If you look at a [http://www.bostonbeats.com/Venues/mbta_map.jpg map of the T], you will see that there is an alternate way, by taking the green line three stops to Park St, and taking the red line two stops to South Station. This route is not recommended because Park St is less frequented than Downtown Crossing, and it is generally a much more sketchy station, and not all the trains that come by go to South Station, so you have to wait for a bunch of trains to go by before yours comes (unless you're lucky). However, if there is a severe problem with Downtown Crossing, this route will get you there, albeit a bit slower.
