There are a few buses. Depending on where in the area you are, one might be less walking and faster than the train.
- 70 or 71 from Watertown to the RL
- 57 to the GL
- 501 or 504 express buses from Newton Corner to downtown. More expensive than a standard fare but you can pay the normal way (charliecard or contactless) and it's probably the fastest.
