Porter (Mbta Station)Porter Square Station is located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Somerville Avenue, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It also serves portions of Somerville. The station opened on December 8, 1984 and is the deepest station in the Boston area. Its facilities include: - A stop the Boston subway's Red Line
- A stop on the MBTA commuter rail Fitchburg Line
- Bus connections at street level, including the Number 77 Massachusetts Avenue bus.
- Bicycle parking
- Perhaps the best collection of public art on the MBTA system, including Glove Cycle by Mags Harries, an installation of bronze castings of lost gloves flowing down the escalator and scattered throughout the station.
Attractions Note to visitors: The station has no automobile parking. It is inadvisable to park in the nearby shopping center and take the train; they will tow. Porter Square Station is wheelchair accessible, however the commuter rail station has its short high platform in a dingy and isolated location.See MBTA accessibility.
