Meet halfway in Boston, MA
Boston's radial network means most trips pass through a handful of interchanges. Triangulmate measures real MBTA and walking times from every address so the group ends up somewhere equally quick, not just somewhere central on a map.
Where groups usually land
Back Bay
Orange line, commuter rail and a short walk to the Green line — fair for suburban and city addresses alike.
Downtown Crossing
Red and Orange line interchange, so almost nobody needs two changes.
Kendall / Cambridge
A fair midpoint when part of the group is north of the river.
Seaport
Good for South Station commuters, with newer dining rooms and easier tables.
The rules Triangulmate applies in Boston
Each address is routed on the MBTA and on foot for your exact departure time. A venue is only recommended when the walk stays under 10 minutes, total door-to-door travel stays within your limit (default 30 minutes), and no two people differ by more than the fairness gap you set (default 5 minutes). Rail is preferred over buses, and journeys that force one person through extra transfers are pushed down the list.
- Green line branch choice changes travel time a lot — the router accounts for it, a map midpoint does not.
- Widen the fairness gap if your group spans both the North and South Shore.
- Use the group link so everyone submits their own address and travel mode.
