Wonderland is a metro station of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in Revere in the state of Massachusetts of the United States . She's northern terminus of the line Blue Line .
history
As early as the end of the 19th century, a station called Bath House was built for the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad north of the position of the current station, but the company had to cease operations in 1940 in the course of the Great Depression . On January 19, 1954, the Wonderland station opened at the same time as the Beachmont and Revere Beach stations and henceforth formed the terminus of the northern extension of the East Boston Tunnel , which was renamed the Blue Line in 1967 . The original plans were to call the station Bath House as well, but the current name was finally chosen based on the nearby Wonderland Amusement Park or the Wonderland Greyhound Park, which was later active at the same location .
Because of the Big Dig , the MBTA was legally forced to compensate for the higher pollution caused by the increased motor traffic. As part of a large number of related measures, the Wonderland Intermodal Transit Center was built at the Wonderland station with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for a total of 53.5 million US dollars from 2010 to 2012 , with a car park with almost 1,500 parking spaces include new bus terminal, bicycle parking and improved pedestrian walkways.
