You've just disembarked from Amtrak and the wanderlust has fizzled? Don't fret, fellow traveler, because escaping Boston's South Station and jetting off to Logan Airport is easier than wrangling a selfie with a grumpy pigeon (we've all tried). Here's your stress-free guide to navigating from train tracks to tarmac.
So, you're at South Station, bags in tow, and the open sky beckons. Here are your chariot options:
The Silver Streak (a.k.a. The MBTA Silver Line): This public bus is your budget-friendly hero. For a few bucks, it whisks you straight to the airport, making pit stops like a champ along the way. Plus, using the bus lets you pretend you're a local for a hot minute. Just be warned, rush hour traffic can turn your Silver Streak into a Silver Slowpoke, so plan accordingly.
Taxi, Uber, Lyft: These trusty steeds are your express ticket to the airport. They'll be waiting curbside, ready to whisk you away in comfort (and air conditioning, because let's face it, Boston summers are no joke). Just be prepared to loosen your purse strings a bit – surge pricing can turn a quick cab ride into a luxury experience.
Rental Car Roulette: If you're feeling adventurous (or have a serious need for a road trip playlist), then grabbing a rental car might be your jam. Just remember, navigating Boston traffic can be an odyssey in itself, so factor in extra time for wrong turns and honking sessions (it's a Boston thing).
Pro Tip: No matter your chosen chariot, download the MBTA app – it'll be your BFF for tracking the Silver Line and planning your route.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
