Rush Hour Tip

Heaviest ridership of any Cambridge station. Morning inbound (toward Boston) is packed 7:30-9:30 AM. Try boarding from the Ashdown side entrance for more space.

Platform Tips

Play the musical sculptures on the platform while you wait! Exit toward Main St for the Kendall tech corridor, or toward Broadway for the CambridgeSide mall.
