By Public transportation:
The number 80 bus, which runs from the Lechmere T stop to Arlington Center, stops right at Mudville's door. During rush hours the bus runs every 15 minutes. Later in the evening, it only runs every hour so it is important to keep track of the time. If you miss the bus, it is about a 20 minute walk down the highway to get to the Lechmere T stop.
The 84 Bus, which runs from the Lechmere T stop down Highland Avenue through Davis Square into Arlington, stops at Highland and McGrath (Rt 28). Mudville is one block away down the highway (there is a sidewalk) going away from Boston.
From Harvard Square, take the Sullivan Station bus. Get off at Washington Street and McGrath Highway. Mudville is a 5 minute walk along the highway away from Boston.
