Walking Boston South Station (January 30, 2021)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 янв 2021
- I walk through Boston's South Station, the normal terminus of the Amtrak Acela and Northeast Regional Trains. I also take a brief walk through the MBTA South Station before going onto street level and viewing the South Station building from the outside.
From Wikipedia:
"South Station, officially The Governor Michael S. Dukakis Transportation Center at South Station-is the largest railroad station and intercity bus terminal in Greater Boston and New England's second-largest transportation center after Logan International Airport. Located at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Summer Street in Dewey Square, Boston, Massachusetts, the historic station building was constructed in 1899 to replace the downtown terminals of several railroads. Today, it serves as a major intermodal domestic transportation hub, with service to the Greater Boston region and the Midwestern and Northeastern United States. It is used by thousands of commuter rail and intercity rail passengers daily. Connections to the rapid transit Red Line and bus rapid transit Silver Line are made through the adjacent subway station.
The station was renamed for former Massachusetts governor Michael S. Dukakis in November 2014, though maps and station signs continue to use the shorter "South Station"

I'd say that Boston is probably the most "European style" city in the US given it's cleanliness and historic Downtown area
Agreed. It’s also very walkable like many European cities
@@LM-dv8pv yes
You should see Washington D.C!! I'd say its even more European then Boston
@@emilyroberts8653 I agree
I'm from Europe--living in Amsterdam. I want to go there one day, and see Boston with my own eyes. Can't wait until this damn pandemic is over. But based on the many pictures I saw from Boston, some movies, street view, and its rich history, I think that you're right. Boston is a European style city
Hi Action kid I'm from England in Cotswolds just say love your channel and have to tell you I'm father to ten year old son who has autism and learning difficulties he loves watching your walk abouts helps him to relax and calms him watching you big thumbs up for channel 🤗
NICE LOOKING I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO.
Thanks for watching
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Amazing AK! ❤️❤️
Glad you like it!
Thanks!
Don't think I have ever seen a station so empty. COVID sure made it rough for travelers around the world. Be glad when things are back to normal. I don't remember having to use the Charlie ticket, the card I loaded it for a week and had no problems with it. I think you can use the Charlie ticket to access more than just the bus and T. I could be wrong.
keep warm
There is a Willy Nelson song that has a line "South Station in Boston". It's neat to see your brother and soon to be sister in law. Have fun AK.
The FED Reserve Bank looks like the hydraulic press From the Terminator!!
Your uploads are always so fun. Love going along on your adventures via your lense. Thankyou and have fun! ❤
Wow, it’s deserted, very different than when I was last there 2 years ago.
Pandemic
The commuter rails have been a lot more empty since the beginning of the pandemic.
Man this brings back so much nostalgia. Always passed through this building when traveling to Chinatown as a kid
Every journey...

starts with a single step. Make that step today.
Awesome video!
Hi, thank you so much for the tour. I have never been in Boston and it's nice to see the sights, thanks to your video. Keep up the good work and have a good one!
Thank you so much, Action Kid. Beautiful.
thank you for sharing 👍👍LIKE 4
see you in your next video✅👍my friend
Great video Thanks for taking us on this visit.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for video wow! ❤
Great video, really cool seeing you in other cities.
Love your new closing scene with the credits. 9:35
have a great time with your brother nice video
Hey AK, I love all your videos but this Boston one is something I’m very happy and excited about. I went to Emerson almost 20 years ago and fell in love with Beantown. I love NYC most, but Boston is just a nice clean and easy city to get around. My one gripe was that unlike NYC, most things (especially the T) do not operate 24/7. Still, Boston is a fantastic place, and your tours help me relive those good days. Keep up the great work man
Sounds great!
Love the stream very pretty love the journeys love the buildings stay safe stay well ⭐❄❄💙
Thank you for this guide. I am traveling to South Station for the first time via Amtrak Lake Shore Limited to attend an expo this weekend (PAX East) at the Boston Convention Center nearby on Summer Street. This video gave me a good preview of the station.
1:02 The silver line is actually a bus. It has 5 branches. SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, and SL5.
Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
Was there in October of 2018 and I was at the bus station at South Station when I went down to Newport, RI and it was during a Nor’easter. Thank goodness it was rain and not snow. The Dunkin Donuts there was good.
Great thank you
Boston Is Much Cleaner Than New York
im writing a short story based in boston and this really helped me thank you :D
Interesting and very different from years ago. It used to have a chapel in there called "Our Lady Of The Railways" and Logan Airport had "Our Lady Of The Airways". North Station at the other end of Boston is a smaller station but nice and kept clean.
I love south station so much
Good video! Use to go through there often. My nephew worked at a law firm in One Financial Center. So much to see downtown! Wish you were still doing walks in the frozen north!
I used to go through South Station every week, it's changed a little bit since my last visit a few years ago. That train to Worcester (pronounced WUSS-tah) is going to get a lot busier later this year when the Red Sox AAA team moves out there from Pawtucket. Hope you enjoy your stay in Beantown.
Good Boston!!!
Thanks you Actionkid 🤗
Any time!
LOoove ! stay warm brothers!
I love traveling by train. Great video.
Me too!
Hello AK, just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your uploads and effort you put into your channel! Myself and my other half really enjoy your content, very much a treat for us once the kids are in bed haha! I am fascinated by the USA and hope to visit one day! Cheers, from the north West of England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😁😁
Welcome to the Bay State Ken and Beantown. Hope you can try out some Boston Baked Beans, a Fenway Frank, some New England Clam Chowder and of course a Lobster Roll!! Dress warmly and get your snow shoes out for a Blackened Shadow experience. :)
Thanks for the tips!
Places to check out there with T stations and lines (all have bus connections):
North Station (Green and Orange lines)
Back Bay Station (Orange line)
Boston Harbor (Aquarium station, Blue line)
Maybe Logan Airport (Silver line SL1 or Airport station for Blue line then shuttle to all terminals)
Any malls (use Transit app)
Porter station (deepest subway station) (Red line)
Harvard bus tunnel (Red line)
Encore casino (Malden Center or Wellington stations for Orange line via shuttle)
Thanks for taking this ride to Boston. Maybe on your way back you can vlog the outside from Boston to NYC. When you showed the "T" train map, I thought it looks just like NYC subway map but not as many colors. Loved the vocal entertainment in the train station Lol! Keep warm! I like the ending to this vlog
Great idea!
I wished NYC Subway system was colored coded like the one in Boston is. So many trains and stations around NYC. Chicago's Subway system I wish that one was color coded (trains) makes it more easier to get around without being lost.
It will take a while to modernize South Station. I am still in awe of the space-aged look of the Moynihan Station at NY Penn, which you showcased in one of your other videos. Glad to see you getting to another city, and showcasing my original hometown. Also good to hear that you get to spend some time with your brother, the other cyclist. Hope you will come to San Francisco one day -- we have great cycling here too!
That would be cool!
@@ActionKid My husband used to race (cycling) with Century Road Club in NYC. He would get up at 4 AM for races on Sat morning in either Central Park or Prospect Park. He raced here in the SF Bay Area for a while, but prefers the kind of long-distance endurance stuff. Sadly, for a while we were getting chased by coyotes in our Presidio (in SF) so now hike across the Golden Gate Bridge, where there are way too many cyclists.
Cool video! I was just there last month. I only wish there was an easier way to access North Station and switch trains.
You should do another video of the South Station Transportation Center (SSTC) at some point. A skyscraper is being built over the tracks you walked by at he beginning of the vid. Keep up the good work!
Action kid we got a big snow coming hear in Boston be safe and welcome and have fun
Welcome to Boston, I live here.
Thank you Action Kid 🥰
NYC has Port Authority, Penn Station and the Grand Central Terminal, but South Station is all we have lol
Fact: MBTA (The T) is Bostonian counterpart of SEPTA. Here's how:
- Orange, Blue, and Red Lines = BSL and MFL
- Green Line = Subway-Surface Trolleys
- T buses and trolleybuses = SEPTA buses and trolley buses
- Commuter Rail (purple) = Regional Rail
- Silver Line = Blvd. Direct
- Mattapan High Speed Trolley = Route 15 (currently bustituted)
- Charlie Card = SEPTA Key
Differences between systems:
- The T has their own ferry system; SEPTA doesn't, but provides connections to an independent ferry service called River Link
- SEPTA has an interurban trolley and railbus system (NHSL and trolley routes 101 and 102); the T doesn't
- SEPTA provides connections to an independent metro rail called PATCO (Philly's version of the PATH trains); the T lacks this, but provides affordable commuter rail service to Providence RI
- The SEPTA regional rail uses a point-to-point fare system using SEPTA Key; The T commuter rail still uses paper tickets and passes.
- The T has direct BRT service (Silver Line) or subway (Blue Line) via shuttle to the airport; SEPTA has Regional Rail access to the airport. Both have access to all terminals as well as local or express bus connections.
- The Charlie Card is valid on numerous bus companies near the Boston area; the SEPTA Key card doesn't but used to be valid on DART buses in Delaware but discontinued in 2021.
We need to get you a compass old buddy, you are heading north in the winter, go south young man. 😳😳
Subbed to your brother .. I have watched several channels like this.. Yours is BY FAR my Fav. You keep my interest, explain where and what we are seeing (important to me since I haven't been there before) and you show sights. Not just eye level walking. You def. Are the best of the best! Looking forward to checking out your brothers as well.
Thank you for sharing the beauty!!
Quick question.. In many of the places are some if the buildings in the heart of these City's apartments? Im in NC and I am fascinated with apartments on super busy city streets. Just amazes me. ( Im thinking I'm easily entertained😂)
Ceasar salad & a draft beer at Tavern In The Square. Friendly and comfortable bar.
Me n my boy missed the last bus back to Connecticut so we had to stay at this station overnight.. luckily the security doesn’t wake you up for sleeping in benches inside October 2018
You should do a video of Starlet’s in Woodside,NY
thank you ; my both sisters are there with covid in worcester st vincents yes boston foods good
Do South Station Bus Terminal!
Charlie Ticket - magstripe card like the MTA NYC Metrocard.
Charlie Card - RFID card (actually more of a proxcard) using the same technology as the MTA NYC OMNY.
They are building South Station tower right over the tracks 51 story 678 foot tower.
06:01 Thanks for the information. We know the difference now !
But we cannot travel to USA yet 😭
Enjoy your vacation in Boston BTW
ive been on that ; today its pretty cold
Boston has a lot of history and style! The Boston Tea party and the Boston Massacre happened there as well and the Zoom kids program was tapped in Boston in the 1970s and late 1990s to 2005 on WGBH PBS station. In Miami right now we are in the 70s.
ActionKid, Just so you know the Silver Line is a bus route. It is not a train line.Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the info! It's a Rapid Transit Bus system!
Cvs store is fantastic two floors and Starbucks too
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Key differences between NYC and Boston?
Boston has a crap ton of European architecture (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, North End, South End) and is WAY more walkable. And I'd say we have worse drivers.
Boston has a lot more open air, is much cleaner, and is better to walk in imo but also has terrible vehicle traffic. NYC is a lot more crowded and dense, the streets are pretty dirty and also has terrible traffic. In conclusion, they are both cities.
We have better baseball teams in NYC.
@@xmuta 🧢
@@xmuta baseball is just a way to pass the time waiting for football season.
Hey ActionKid, Looks like you may be snowbound for a couple of days. Enjoy the snow. Will be looking for you. What's your brother's channel?
At 3:50 ActionKid says his brothers channels.
@@Morrell. Thankyou
Hey Ak
Where do you find Taxi? To take you to North Station?
Where do you go to get the greyhound buses?
Waiting on a new video!
guy shouting inside, typical UsA
Please give us a link to your brothers YT and please introduce your young lady with you....thank you AK! ❤️❤️
Where is a good hotel. Moderate price?
Why do some videos say private when I click on it ????
They're building a new skyscraper over South Station, that's what all the construction is. It's scheduled to be done in 2025.
I been multiple times since 2013to 2019 look last time was in there 2020 but took bus instead
LOL...Federal Reserve is where they actually print/make the currency. Technically it's not a bank. If you have any paper money on you chances are good some of it was printed in that building.
You brother have also chanel on YT ?
SI
@@hesback-joeysworldtourytpm967 And what's the name of chanel ?
I live in Boston and will show you around if you want. I will bring you to cape cod and show you the JFK museum and the kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. Let me know
I was there this morning and a crackhead sat in front of me, sniffed her armpit and repeatedly started slamming her head against the table 😭
did she die
@@Deltaexe190 I don’t know bro I got on my train
What and where are the tables and chairs this place is ?
Boston has also turned into a empty city.
I hope it normalizes as soon as possible.
I'm guessing the female companian in this video wanted to remain
Anonymous?
It should not be ‘War-chester’! 😂
Who’s the girl? No recognition 🤦🏾♀️
Your gonna wanna stay away from this station.
And do NOT use the mens or ladies bathroom.
As someone more familiar than most with South Station please do not enter nor use the bathrooms.
Why? Just trust someone who knows. I lived there. For months.
If you actually enter the place do not touch anything.
Just dont.
Or just shit/piss before………..and this literally any terminal not just south station
.........doesnt action kid know new yorkers are not allowed in boston lol
