Boston Trip - Information Please?

Question

1) Will a Boston cab drop you off in Cambridge?

2) If I have a toddler, can I still travel by cab (I won't have a car seat)

3) Is the 'T' safe after dark? It appears that we will be visiting areas around the Museum of Fine Arts, Prudential center, Arlington, Aquarium, Harvard for the most part and we will be living near the Lechmere station. Is it ok to make some of these trips after dark?

Answer 1

For question number 1) Yes it will.

For question number 2)  Yes you can. But I don't think you should because it will not be safe for your toddler. Just in case. I prefer renting a car. So your toddler will be by your side while you drive. And he/she will be safe and so will you.

For question number 3)  I don't think so. You should make trips during the day time so you can be safe. Then prepare for the trips the night before instead of going in the dark, prepare then in the day time start your trip.

Answer 2

A Boston cab will bring you anywhere pretty much. I've taken a cab from Boston to Natick which is about am hour away. I'm not sure about the regulations of the age limits, but I doubt any cab driver would deny money within reason. I wouldn't reccomend for a long trip however. And yes the T is just as safe as any other form of transportation. And for future reference I would avoid the area of Roxbury.

Answer 3

1 and 2 i dont know

but the T is still very safe after dark. You might find it crowded, especially if th sox are in town in which case a lot of people will be riding it, but its no different then a subway or bus in any other town. nothing to worry about specifically. of course nothings ever 100% certain.

Answer 4

1) If you take a cab form Boston, It will drop you off where ever you want to go.

2) Yes you can take a toddler with you let them know ahead of time.

Personally, I've taken the T at dark with 3 children and have had no problems as long as it's not to late. You may want to check the hours of the Museum and the Aquarium. They may close before dark. Welcome and have a safe and fun trip. They are all great places to go. We have been there several times.
