Let’s be honest, the green line is a shit show.
The "D" train (Green Line)
What it's known for: Drunk Red Sox fans.
The pro: Sometimes you can get on at the outdoor stops without swiping your Charlie card... not that I would ever do that or anything.
The con: It basically runs a fourth as often as the other green line trains, so when you finally get on you're usually nuzzled into someone's armpit.

The "E" train (Green Line)
What it's known for: The train you take to get to the MFA.
The pro: Once you get outside, it's a pretty scenic ride.
The con: The number of times you hear "this train is being taken out of service" at Brigham Circle. Trying to ride during rush hour in the winter? Forget it.

The "C" train (Green Line)
What it's known for: You can get to Coolidge corner on this line, among other places.
The pro: It seems to run more frequently than the D and E line.
The con: Like all green line trains, it doesn't have convenient stations to reload your Charlie card. So, bring cash.

The Blue Line
What it's known for: The stop "Wonderland" and the 47 pictures you've seen people upload that say "OMG I went to Wonderland."
The pro: You can get to both the aquarium and the airport on the Blue Line. And fish are really cool, so that's awesome.
The con: Anytime you need to use the Blue Line, you're like, "Where da fuq do I get the blue line?"
