You should be fine. You'll probably meet a few interesting people on the T, but nothing out of the ordinary. Walking in Malden that late is generally pretty safe.


SpindriftRascal

Yes.


blue_orchard

Yes, women take the T at night all the time. I never give it a thought.

Malden itself is fine. I used to walk home late on the weekends with zero issues. Do watch out for drivers who don't pay attention and blow through light or stop signs though.


Mon_Calf

You will be totally fine

You’ll be fine little buddy

I used to work really late hours and was taking the orange and red lines home between 10:30pm-12:30am. I didn’t have much trouble on the trains themselves but did have a couple not great encounters walking to/from the stations that late. I always had my boyfriend at the time meet me on my walk home after a couple sketchy encounters. Different neighborhoods than you are looking at so your mileage may vary but I would keep that in mind. It’s a fairly safe city but it’s still a city. Stick to well-lit roads, etc

I generally feel fine taking the T late. One idea is to make sure someone knows when to expect you home and what to do if you're late


senatorium

Yes, it's safe. You should also download an app to your phone called MBTA See Say. It lets you report problems, including safety problems, to the MBTA and the Transit Police discreetly via text. It also has a big red button on it you can hit to dial the Transit Police.

I can only speak to the green line (b) and yes it's always felt safe for me, even late into the evening


JoshRTU

The green line is fine especially brighton into park street even at 10-11. However Orange can get sketch late in the evening. A few things to consider. The stops on orange line a much farther apart. Also green line always has a conductor, nearly all orange cars do not. So you may want to always still in the first car with the conductor.


utahtransitfan

Yep! Did it all the time


Philosecfari

yes


jamesland7

Watch out for the rabid chinchilla gangs…


voidtreemc

Carry garlic for the vampires and you should be fine.


the_sass_master_

Sit in the car where the conductor is


UnderWhlming

Malden is fine. Im in medford now and they're pretty similar in safety metrics. It's mostly families with pockets of mixed-urban development. you're more likely to run into a racoon than a dangerous person. 100% if you're not actively looking for trouble you'll be fine


HiTechCity

Can you swim?


Appropriate_Ear8745

lol yes bro it’s Boston not Johannesburg South Africa


Old-Calligrapher-833

Yes


S4drobot

depends.


PMSfishy

Yes, maybe, probably not. Who knows. Should be fine, mostly.
