Alrighty, so we’ve basically scraped the bottom of the toilet bowl for the B branch, surely it’s only uphill from there, right? Well……

So, since Washington St. & Harvard Ave. are essentially copy-pasted, I’m doing both as one entry. What sets them apart from the other stinkers? Well, you got a tactile safety strip, wheelchair lifts, and shelters with trashbins. Woah!!! Still, no benches!

The good: There’s shelters and wastebins! Neat!
The bad: The damn platforms are STILL very narrow! Also, no benches!
Nearby points of interest: Same shopping on Commonwealth Avenue as from the other stops.
Transit connections:
Green Line (B)
MBTA bus (65 @ Washington St., 66 @ Harvard Ave.)
Overall, these stations are STILL awful! But, they’re marginally better!!!
