I'm taking the Chinatown bus to Boston, and I'd like to know where the nearest public transportation is,so I can plan my route from there. I want to visit the New England Aquarium, Institute of Contemporary Art, and Fenway Park. I'm utilizing public transportation to do all this in one day.What's the nearest bus and subway stop to Fung Wah buslines in Boston?
Hank is correct on the directions, except there's no reason to use the Blue Line -- it's very close to the Green Line.
But you can't visit Boston without visiting Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market, at least for lunch. Go to the ICA first (Silver Line to Courthouse Station). Then walk to the Aquarium. From the Aquarium, walk to Quincy Market (follow the signs). Eat. At Faneul Hall, look for the T signs to Haymarket of Government Center (depending on your opinion of stairs -- Govt Center has 'em, Haymarket doesn't). Take the Green Line to Kenmore, you'll see Fenway from there.What's the nearest bus and subway stop to Fung Wah buslines in Boston?
Because of street blockage problems Fung Wah is no longer allowed to bearth on a Boston Chinatown street, but this is better for you (!!!!) because now it bearths at the central bus terminal at South Station (about 4 blocks from Chinatown). At South Station you can catch the subway.
ICA: Silver Line
Aquarium: Red Line to Orange Line to Blue Line (1 stop each)
Fenway Park: Red Line to Green Line
Actually you can walk it (about 20 - 25 minutes) from South Station to the ICA, and you can walk
it (on a shoreline pedestrian way) from the ICA to the Aquarium. And then you can take the Blue Line to the Green Line to get to Fenway. (But bring a coat and gloves even if the day is otherwise balmy. The ocean is still cold until June and if the wind turns into the east, as it often does on warm spring days, it can cut to the bone. There are days when it is 25 - 30 degrees warmer at Fenway - located 2 1/2 miles inland - than at the ICA on the waterfront).
