Taxis are widely available throughout Boston, but the city\u2019s public transit system (the MBTA) is convenient and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n
MBTA fares are $2.00 per train ride and $1.50 per bus ride using cash or a paper ticket. Discounted rates ($1.70\/train, $1.25\/bus) are available with a plastic \u201cCharlie Card.\u201d These can be obtained at most MBTA train stops, including the Airport station. Ask an operator for a card, which can then be loaded with the value of your choice at one of the machines outside the turnstiles. Alternatively, a 7-day paper pass can be purchased at the machines for $15.<\/p>\n
From Logan International Airport into Boston: From your terminal, catch a free shuttle bus (#22, #33, or #55) to the Airport station on the MBTA Blue Line. Take the Blue Line inbound (toward Bowdoin.) Exit at Government Center and change to the Green Line. Most local hotels<\/a> are along this line; you can use the MBTA\u2019s online trip planner<\/a> to find the best stop for your destination. For direct service to Boston University, be sure to wait for a \u201cB\u201d train (the Green Line splits into four branches) and exit at the BU Central stop.<\/p>\n MBTA service to Boston University is available near all area hotels. Exit at the BU Central stop on the \u201cB\u201d branch of the Green Line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taxis are widely available throughout Boston, but the city\u2019s public transit system (the MBTA) is convenient and easy to navigate.
