Greater Boston's subway system, known as the T, is made up of a variety of transit systems. Trains, buses, and the commuter rail are widely used by the Greater Boston community. Trains travel from the city center out to neighborhoods such as Boston, Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, Somerville, East/South Boston and more.

SEE SUBWAY MAP & SCHEDULE

The commuter rail train provides service to Boston and Cambridge (as well as some west-lying towns). Schedules vary for the commuter rail on weekends and holidays, so be sure to have a current schedule with you.

Only the Fitchburg Line train stops at the Brandeis-Roberts station at the south edge of campus, along South Street across from the Epstein Service Center. Allow for a 10-minute walk from the center of main campus.

The Fitchburg Line train goes east to Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge and North Station in Boston. In Cambridge, the train stops at the Porter Square station, where connections can be made to the Red Line of Boston's T subway system. In Boston, the train stops at North Station, where you can get on both the Green and Orange Lines of the T. These have connections to all other lines of the subway system.

Buses provide service to virtually all points in the metropolitan Boston area. The number 553 bus runs by Brandeis, goes through the center of Waltham and into Newton. It is a great alternative to driving through Waltham.

From Main Street, at the end of South Street near the Walgreens, or at the Cedarwood stop, located at the back end of campus, one can catch the number 70 bus that goes to Central Square in Cambridge by way of Watertown. This bus passes the Watertown Mall and the Arsenal Mall.

The number 61 bus travels from North Waltham to Waltham Center.
