Boston's South Station Transportation Center (map) has three main parts:

1. South Station for Commuter Rail trains and Amtrak intercity trains. The station's grand hall has a food court and shops. More...

2. South Station Bus Terminal on the south side of South Station for regional and interstate buses. More...

3. MBTA subway station beneath South Station for Red Line subway trains and Silver Line subway buses. The subway station is entered by descending steps or escalators near the station's main entrance on Summer Street and Atlantic Avenue. More...

South Station is only a short walk from Boston's Seaport District, Chinatown, and Downtown Crossing.

By the way, other Commuter Rail trains and Amtrak's Downeaster train to Portland ME arrive and depart from North Station, just over a mile's walk or a short taxi ride north of South Station (map).

To travel from South Station to North Station by subway, descend to the Red Line subway station following signs for trains to Alewife. Take the Red Line Alewife train to Downtown Crossing and change to an Orange Line train bound for Oak Grove. Get out at North Station, walk upstairs and into North Station.
