How to get to the center of Boston.
The advantageous location of the airport near the city center (only 3 km) provides a wide range of options for getting to the city center or its outskirts, in particular:
Logan Express is a non-stop bus that connects all four terminals, the Back Bay area (this bus goes to the city center) and large suburbs of Boston: Framingham, Braintree, Woburn and Peabody. The cost of a ticket, which can be purchased from the driver, depends on the distance of the route and is $ 12.00 - 22.00. Travel time is no more than 40 minutes. Runs daily from 5.00 am to 9.00 pm;
Public transport. Two lines of public routes (MBTA) lead from the airport: silver (bus, will take you to the South Station free of charge in 20 minutes) and blue (metro, intersects with the orange line, thus covering most of the city center), as well as water shuttle number 66, which will take you from the airport to the Boston Dock for free. Transportation from MBTA is the most economical option for leaving the airport;
Taxi. Traditionally, taxi drivers are waiting for passengers near the airport. The fare will be about $25-45 to the center, and the journey time is about 10-15 minutes;
Rent a car at the Boston airport. This is the most convenient and mobile way to travel.
It takes approximately 15 minutes to drive to the city center in a rental car at Boston Airport. For example, to get to Museum of African American History located at 46 Joy St, Boston, MA 02114, you need to exit onto the MA highway -1A past East Boston Memorial Park, take MA-1A to New Chardon St, then continue to Joy St. The distance along this route will be 3.5 miles and the travel time will be 15 minutes.
