If you head to the Back Bay MBTA stop on Columbus Ave, on one side of the street the signs say, "Entrance Across the Street." Look across the street at the other Back Bay Station and the sign says, "Entrance Across the Street."

the zak, is that you?

Makes more sense with the photos
Which I've enabled.
Why does Back Bay station have exit-only gates?
I've never understood why a commuter rail station has those iron-maiden exit-only gates. The platforms are not "fare-paid" areas like a subway platform, so there is no logical reason to restrict access.
It's easier to keep an eye
It's easier to keep an eye on who is entering.
Not that it helps the crime rate in the station. Especially in the men's bathroom. I just...just don't go in there anymore. Calling the transit police isn't helpful as the people they're looking for are gone by the time they arrive.
Heh
Are you saying that the ones you found in the men's bathroom have figured out how to enter the Back Bay station?
random question
are the men's rooms as broilingly hot as the women's room is/was?
In the summer, yes
And there's nothing quite so lovely as being in the men's room (except maybe the women's room?) right after a commuter train's pulled in. Who needs cigarettes when you've got a smoke-filled restroom?
