And now, the last Mattapan Line station! Well, how bad is it? It’s…..actually alright. It’s no Bowdoin<\/a>, Harvard, Malden Center<\/a>, or Fenway<\/a>, but it holds up pretty well at least!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, it’s the same as usual. Shelter, benches, wastebaskets on the Ashmont platform. Mattapan platform lacks shelters, and both sides have mini-highs for accessibility. Yeah, not a lot here. However, you can at the least get a few nice shots of PCCs cresting the incline to Ashmont. Neat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s quiet! Furthermore, there’s bus connections (if you walk a little) as well!

The bad: Eh, most people are probably going to use Ashmont. But also, add a shelter on the Mattapan platform!!!

Nearby points of interest: Eh, not much.

Transit connections:
Mattapan Line
MBTA bus (215, at Gallivan Blvd.)

Overall, it’s a good station. Yeah, sorry, not a lot to note on this one, but at least we end on a good note.
