The station is notable for its lack of an entrance on the east side of the tracks, on Independence Avenue. As a result, the residential neighborhood immediately to the east is more than a mile away from the nearest entrance by road. The Independence Avenue entrance was closed in the 1980s because people complained about traffic problems from cars dropping people off at the station, and concerns that commuters would park on residential streets.<ref>http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/12/07/cant_get_there_from_there/</ref> |

Quincy Adams Station, located at Burgin Parkway and Centre Street, in Quincy, Massachusetts, is the next to last station on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Red Line Braintree branch.
The station features a large park and ride garage, with space for 2378 automobiles. It can be easily reached from Exit 18 off Route 3, near where it connects with Interstate 93. There is also a connection to bus route 238.
The station opened on September 10, 1983, and is wheelchair accessible. See MBTA accessibility.
There was once a surcharge for entering or exiting the subway system at this station.
The station is notable for its lack of an entrance on the east side of the tracks, on Independence Avenue. As a result, the residential neighborhood immediately to the east is more than a mile away from the nearest entrance by road. The Independence Avenue entrance was closed in the 1980s because people complained about traffic problems from cars dropping people off at the station, and concerns that commuters would park on residential streets.[1]
