College Prowler Take
The public transportation system consists of the T— Boston’s version of a subway—and the BC bus. The BC bus can go either to Newton or to Cleveland Circle, where restaurants, a few bars, and pharmacies are located. It can be quicker than the T, depending on where you are going. It also depends on the time of day.
The T will take you pretty much anywhere in Boston, but it is not the quickest subway ever invented. It can be a long day if you decide to take the T from BC to downtown, but for shorter rides at off-peak times, the T is the way to go. Most T fares are a couple dollars, and the T shuts down after 2 a.m. Still, while it is working, it’s the cheapest way to get around town. Cabs are common and convenient; after all, they just take you right to your door instead of having to wait at some bus or T stop. They can also be somewhat cheap if you and a whole bunch of friends cram into them, but try to use them only for nights out, and rely on the T during the day. Students Speak Out

The T is very convenient. At BC, there's either the D Line or the B Line—the D Line is faster, but if that doesn't work out, there's always the B Line. BC also has buses for helping students get around. They're pretty convenient, too, but it's hard to judge the times to figure out where they're going to be and when.

It's so convenient! The T is literally at the University's gate, and there are buses to bring you around the city. There are also BC buses that bring students to the malls and grocery stores nearby.

It's awesome. BC has a bus that runs often to different places on campus and various places of worth around campus. The T is literally right next to campus and can take you anywhere you want to go in Boston. And it's very easy to get around with your own two legs.

Public transportation is the most convenient way to get around. The Boston College bus runs to some local stops and also takes people to the T to get into Boston. Also, there is a T stop directly across the street from campus.
