By bus[edit]

MBTA buses include the 350 from Alewife and 134 from Wellington are your best bet, if it shows up, they can be extremely infrequent at times outside of weekdays. The 354 is a rush hour only bus, so it's not much use. Lexington and Lowell have bus service to the Burlington Mall.

By car[edit]

Generally the best way, with infrequent MBTA service. The highway and roads that lead to it can get quite congested at rush hour. Outside of rush hour, you will be generally fine traffic wise, but it's not a guarantee. Route 38 and Route 3 travel throughout town.

By public transit[edit]

MBTA service is generally infrequent in the area, and service is entirely radial towards downtown Boston. There is no overlap in the 134 and 350 bus routes. On weekends service is extremely infrequent or nonexistent.
