I can't believe that it was nowhere on yelp so I had to add it. I love South Station Bus Terminal. It's clean and nice. The restrooms are spacious and clean I checked with a security guard and he told me that he never saw a rodent at the bus terminal. So I am thinking it's pretty safe to eat here. They have small stores and a few restaurants. You can travel by train and bus here. Trains like Amtrak and faster amtraks like the Acela are available. The MBTA is convenient to catch your bus or trains. You will find many bus companies here. I travel with Peter Pan & Greyhound in the past. Nowadays I travel with Fung-Wah bus. I will try other bus lines in the future like Megabus and Boltbus. Truereview here to tell you the truth.

Their buses are ok but some look really bad and old. I hate that one day I was traveling to Ohio. The trip was long but what was worst was that I had to get another bus. Another day I was in New York City with my mother. We purchased tickets to go to Boston. Guess where we were? You are not going to believe it. Washington Dc. Yes true story here. They gave us other tickets to go to Boston but for real they should have given us free extra tickets for bad customer service. I mean come on the guy could not read the tickets? Boston and Washington DC are different. Of course we did not leave right away we had to wait for next bus which took a long time. The bus terminal in DC is so scary and unsafe at night. There was a lot of druggies if you know what I mean. I also no longer use Greyhound to go to New York City. I use Fung Wah Bus and Lucky star. It's $30 dollars one way with Greyhound and $15 dollars with Fung Wah and Lucky Star well you do the math. Check out my review of Fung Wah Bus lines and Lucky Star Bus lines.

I love the Lucky star Bus it's convenient and cheap. I travel many times with them and I am always happy. Their buses are clean. The staff is not mixed but they are nice. They have a better reputation than the Fung Wa Bus because they had no accidents this is why they get one more star from me. They used to be on Beach street but are now located on Atlantic Avenue with the competitors Fung Wah Bus and Greyhound of course. Check my review of the Fung wah Bus.

Fung Wah Bus used to be located outside, on Beach street. They made money so changed their location to 700 Atlantic Avenue. Their buses leave every 30 minutes. It's very convenient to travel from Boston to Nyc and Nyc to Boston. The price is good $15 one way compare to so much more at Greyhound.They also have deals online. The staff is not mixed at all because as we all know asians don't mix with other people. They just stick with their own race. It's good but bad too. I like that a lot of people are working so the business is creating a lot of jobs. The buses are decent. It's not a special bus for rich people. Some yelpers are complaining listen guys if you have a OCD problem don't take the bus. They have convenient plastic bags attached on the side of seats. I think it's a great thing so people won't throw their trash all over the bus. People should understand that's it's not Fung Wah Bus fault it's the customers. They are the one who are trashing the bus, they are the disgusting ones. The restrooms are ok but I dislike the grafittis inside. Some are mean and they talked shit about the company. I believe some stupid kids and adults wrote them. I take the Fung wah couple times a year with my mother and sometimes alone. I never had any major problem. One day the bus driver had to stop the bus because of a ac problem but it's was only for a few minutes. This company had issues in the past. They had a few accidents and a lawsuit. The lawsuit was a discrimination lawsuit. I was shocked to find out that it's was not about them being racist against black people, as we all know asians are very racist towards black people. I will say even more than whites. It's the truth so don't even try to tell me otherwise. If some asians are not then it will be a small percentage of 1%. January 2004 Fung Wah refused to sell tickets to a disabled blind couple because they were travelling with their guide dog. They had a policy barring pets from buses. The couple went to court and won, they won some cash $10, 000. They had to adjust their policies for blind and disabled who traveled with pets or guide dogs. They had to major accidents. The first one was June 23 2008, the bus was struck by a dump truck in New York Chinatown. One lady died and some injured. The second one was February 15 2 Fung wah buses crashed into each other on I 95 in West Haven CT. 60 people were injured that day. Basically they never had accidents in Boston. They paid fines for the past incidents and now are more careful. Truereview here to tell you the truth.

I don't think I can called this a train. It's a trolley for me. I ride the green line many times from Cambridge Lechmere station to Boston Fenway T stop, Park street to reach the red line, North station to catch the orange line and go to Boston area. Check their schedules Monday to Friday is different from Saturday and Sunday. The green line Mbta looks very bad. It's too tiny for the crazy amount of people in Boston area. The other bad thing is that this trolley is always late you will have to wait a long time for the train to arrive and then wait again for the train to leave the station. The train is very slow. If you have a doctor's appointment or a job interview I will say leave homr early if you don't want to miss your meeting or take the cab. Truereview here to tell you the truth.

It's a nice hotel in a great location, but they have some serious attitude at this place.  On a busy summer weekend, it feels like a poorly run Vegas hotel.  Total chaos in the lobby, and a staff that seems to be losing it.  We couldn't check in until 5:30, and the front desk folks seemed really inconvienced when we kept asking them if we could check in.  Then, when our keys got magnetized and didn't work, we were told that they did in fact work.  Then, when the cleaning staff walked away with a super high end bottle of whisky just a few hours before my brother was getting married, hotel security scolded us for having alcohol in the room.

I guess they can get away with being assholes due to their awesome location.

Of all the critique that can be nade about the place (poor maintenance, deceiving pictures on the site), the most intolerable part was the host's most unfriendly and rude attitude. being a regular B&B customer all over the US, Canada, and Europe, I have never had this kind of experience. My advice, if you can just afford it, look for another place and keep our from this one. This was one scorching experience.

These guys provide group bus transportation in the Greater Boston/Metro West area. I admit I'm prejudiced since I've used them for over 5 years now, but if you need a van, shuttle bus, or school bus these guys will deliver. They are a very reputable group.
