Outbound platform at Arlington station.

Arlington Station is a MBTA station on the Green Line, located on the southwest end of the Boston Public Garden at the corner of Arlington and Boylston Streets. It is therefore popular for reaching the Public Garden, particularly its famous swan boats.

Since Copley Station lacks a crossover between westbound (outbound) and eastbound (inbound) tracks, this is the last stop in the outbound direction at which a transfer among all Green Line trains traveling in either direction is possible.

On November 22, 2006, the main entrance to Arlington station closed for extensive construction, including the addition of an elevator. The Arlington Street entrance will not reopen until March 1, 2008. Until then, all access to Arlington station is through entrances at the corner of Boylston and Berkeley Streets which had been closed for many years. New CharlieCard fare equipment has been installed at the Berkeley Street entrance.
