| How To Get To Plymouth From Boston Without A Car |
Embrace the Inner Speed Demon (Without the Engine)
The Speedy Gonzales: Buckle up (metaphorically, of course) for the Plymouth & Brockton bus. This sleek chariot whisks you away from South Station in Boston and deposits you in Plymouth in about an hour, leaving you more time to plot your lobster roll attack plan.
The Scenic Saunter: Feeling a bit more leisurely? The MBTA train offers a laid-back ride (think comfy seats and epic daydream opportunities) to Kingston Station, which is roughly 1.5 hours away. From there, a quick taxi or rideshare will have you in Plymouth in a jiffy.
Pro Tip: Download the MBTA app (it's like having a pocket-sized wizard for navigating public transportation) to check schedules and plan your journey.
Become a Master of the Sharing Economy
- Ride-Sharing Robin Hoods: If you're feeling social (and budget-conscious), ridesharing apps like Uber or Lyft can be a great option, especially if you can snag a shared ride. Just be sure to factor in wait times and potential detours.
Word to the Wise: Check the app in advance to see how many drivers are available in the Plymouth area.
Channel Your Inner Lewis and Clark (But on a Budget)
- The Two-Wheeled Trek (For the Adventurous Soul): Calling all cycling enthusiasts! While not for the faint of heart (or those with serious luggage), a bike trip from Boston to Plymouth is a scenic (and calorie-burning) adventure. Just be sure to plan your route carefully, pack plenty of water, and factor in extra time.
Disclaimer: This option is best suited for experienced cyclists with a healthy dose of wanderlust.
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
