Safety on the Subway

Submitted by LiveFrosty911 t3_z8lrtu in boston

Hello all,

I will be visitng Boston next month and I am planning to attend the Celtics game at TD garden. I will be staying at a friend's place in Quincy. Is it safe to take the train to Quincy after the game (around 10-11pm)?

Thanks 😊

You'll be fine. It's more likely that the train falls off the track than you have an altercation.

You'll be fine, unles you try to start some fights or attack someone. So don't do that.

Eh, I'd say there's a good chance he'd be fine but the T can be sketchy and people have been victims of random crimes.

Cities in general can be sketchy, and anyone can be a victim of a random crime. I don’t think that should stop anyone from taking public transportation after a game.

Granted, this was about a decade ago, but I used to live in Quincy. I would say, Quincy is one of the safest cities in the metro area, and I used to take the red line home at hours like that all the time, and walked to my condo there. The red line to Quincy is safe. Just be sure to take the Braintree line, not the Ashmont one because it'll fork into 2 different directions right before it heads to Quincy/Braintree. It should say on the front or sides of the train which way it's heading.

after any game at the Garden there's a ton of people taking the train in every direction, it's so jam-packed it's hard to even start an altercation. walk with the crowd to Charles/MGH and ride from there to make your life a little easier
