On Friday nights it runs later: the last trip leaves at 1:48 am. On Saturday nights the last trip leaves at 1:20 am, and on Sunday nights at 12:49 am. Late at night, ask Cobblehop for the last trip. It checks live times and tells you when to leave.

Tips for this trip

• Know your stop. Get to the door after Columbus Ave @ Weld Ave - Egleston Sq. The next stop is Columbus Ave @ Walnut Ave. Start a live trip in Cobblehop and it alerts you before your stop.
• Inbound or outbound. Commuter Rail trains toward Boston are called inbound and trains leaving Boston are outbound. This trip is outbound: look for Providence on the departure board, and find the track number there a few minutes before the train leaves.
• Changing at Ruggles. You don't leave the station. Follow the signs for bus 22.
• White Stadium is in Franklin Park in Boston.
• South Station has the Red Line and Silver Line underground, Commuter Rail and Amtrak on the main concourse, and the intercity bus terminal upstairs next door.

What it costs

• Bus. $1.70 one way, like any local bus.
• How to pay. Tap a contactless credit or debit card, phone or watch at the fare gate or bus door, or use a CharlieCard or CharlieTicket.
• Commuter Rail. South Station to Ruggles is a Zone 1A fare, $2.40 one way. On Saturdays and Sundays, a $10.00 weekend pass covers unlimited Commuter Rail rides.
