“I recently tried to hop the Orange line at Chinatown going outbound, and for the life of me I couldn’t find the damn outbound platform!” user Johnny_Wiggles wrote. “The entrance is across the street from the inbound side (makes sense) but is nestled on the side of some big department store/building and it seemed very unassuming compared to the entrance to the inbound side.

Redditor and subway adventurer BostonUrbEx’s list was the most thoughtful on the thread, listing a number of superlatives ranging from “worst shelter from the elements” to “worst beggars.”
Not everyone agreed with his selection for “Worst Smell”: North Station.
“Have you ever been at Back Bay during rush hour?” Redditor highlander311 asked. “The smoke is thick and it just smells like lung cancer.”
“Worst ventilation: Back Bay Station. Good call!” BostonUrbEx agreed. “But I wouldn’t say worst smell.”
“North Station smells like a sulfur deposit that just farted,” user drewd33 observed.
