There's no parking from 2am to 6am. There are ticket agents during the appointed hours, but no ticket machines. The station also has bike racks.
Located at the corner of Green and Amory, Green Street station serves a densely populated residential area. With street cutouts, it is convenient to drop off or pick up, but there are no automobile parking spaces. There are 22 bicycle parking spaces. The station is clean and well-lit, and service is predictable, if a little scant. The station is a stop for the #48 bus route which travels to the South Street monument and down Centre Street, the popular Jamaica Plain restaurant and retail destination.
Stony Brook station is a small, quiet station tucked into the ground between Jackson and Green Street Stations. It is another access point to the subway serving densely populated south Jamaica Plain. With its adjacent seating, stone engraved poetry and proximity to a public green space, the station has a community park-like feel. With 12 bicycle spaces, no car parking and side street access, this station is primarily used by pedestrians on their way into town or out to Forest Hills. Like Green Street, it connects to only one bus route, the #48 which serves South and Centre Streets.
Community College Station is one of the two MBTA subway stops that services Charlestown. Much of the traffic here is generated by Bunker Hill students, as the stop is just outside the campus limits. This is an outdoor station. There are a few shelters and benches available for riders while they wait for a train.
