The university is west of Boston and is accessible through Brandeis / Roberts station on the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line, a free shuttle that services Boston and Cambridge ( Harvard Square ) Thursday through Sunday, the nearby Riverside subway station ( above ground ) on the Green Line, and the 553 MBTA Bus.

Nearby bus stops serve MBTA buses from Harvard Square, and from Back Bay across the Charles River via the Harvard Bridge, as well as various shuttle buses.

This extension was scaled back from the original plan to extend the Red Line from Harvard to Route 128 in Lexington via the former B & M / MBTA Bedford Branch railroad right-of-way.

In place of the highway project, the MBTA Red Line was extended from Harvard to Alewife in the 1980s.

The first president ( Henry Dunster ), the first benefactor ( John Harvard ), and the first schoolmaster ( Nathaniel Eaton ) of Harvard were all Cambridge University alumni, as was the then ruling ( and first ) governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop.

Soon after, turnpikes were built: the Cambridge and Concord Turnpike ( today's Broadway and Concord Ave .), the Middlesex Turnpike ( Hampshire St. and Massachusetts Ave. northwest of Porter Square ), and what are today's Cambridge, Main, and Harvard Streets were roads to connect various areas of Cambridge to the bridges.

Harvard University had always been important in the city ( both as a landowner and as an institution ), but it began to play a more dominant role in the city's life and culture.

When the Longfellow Bridge replaced the West Boston Bridge in 1907, it included provisions for a future rapid-transit subway link to Harvard Square and Boston ( now the Red Line ); the original Kendall subway station was opened in 1911.

Until 1984, the Harvard Square stop was the northern terminus of the Red Line, and it still functions as a major transfer station between subway, bus, and trackless trolley.

Because the subway tunnel was tightly constrained to follow Massachusetts Avenue, which makes a sharp, near-right-angle turn at Harvard Square, all Red Line trains must negotiate the curve at slow speed, accompanied by loud squeals from the wheels and rails.

Above and slightly offset from the subway platforms are the Harvard Bus Tunnels, which offer passengers underground weather-protected connections to buses and trackless trolleys.
