A Guide to Boston Airport Transportation: Shuttles and Public Transit

Welcome to Boston Airport. Navigating from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to your destination is simple and efficient thanks to a well-connected network of public transportation. Opting for the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) services or the airport’s shuttle system is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to travel. This guide will help you understand your options.

Using the On-Airport Logan Airport Shuttle System

To connect with the subway (the “T”), the water ferry, and certain bus routes, your first step will be to board one of Massport’s complimentary blue-and-white on-airport shuttle buses. After collecting your luggage, proceed to the Arrivals level and look for the “Ground Transportation” signs to find the shuttle stops at your terminal’s curb.

These shuttles run frequently and connect all terminals (A, B, C, E). Key routes include:

• Routes 22, 33, and 55: These routes connect the airline terminals to the MBTA Blue Line Airport Station and the Rental Car Center.
• Route 66: This shuttle connects all terminals directly to the Logan Water Transportation Dock for ferry service.

Your Public Transit Options from Logan Airport

MBTA Subway: The Blue Line

The subway, known locally as the “T,” is a fast and efficient way to reach downtown Boston and surrounding areas. The Blue Line offers excellent connectivity to the city’s other major subway lines.

• How to Access: Take the On-Airport Shuttle (Routes 22, 33, or 55) from your terminal to the Airport Station.
• Destinations: The Blue Line travels directly to key downtown stops like State Street (connecting to the Orange Line) and Government Center (connecting to the Green Line), providing access to Faneuil Hall, Boston Common, and the Financial District.

MBTA Bus: The Silver Line Rapid Transit

The Silver Line offers direct bus service from the airport terminals with ample room for luggage.

• Silver Line 1 (SL1): This is a highly recommended option for travel to downtown. Service from Logan Airport to the South Boston Waterfront (Seaport) and South Station is completely FREE. South Station is a major transportation hub connecting to the Red Line, commuter rail, and Amtrak services.
• Silver Line 3 (SL3): This route provides service to Chelsea, connecting to the Commuter Rail and other local bus routes.

Scenic Travel: The Logan Airport Ferry

For a truly unique and scenic journey into the city, consider the MBTA’s water ferry service.

• How to Access: Take the On-Airport Shuttle Route 66 from your terminal to the Water Transportation Dock.
• Destinations: The ferry offers a picturesque ride across Boston Harbor to downtown destinations, including Long Wharf (near the New England Aquarium) and Hull.

Accessing the Boston Logan Rental Car Shuttle

Please be aware that the public transit shuttles are separate from the dedicated Boston Logan rental car shuttle service. If you are renting a vehicle, your process is different:

• Logan Airport rental car shuttle
• Consolidated Rental Car Center (RCC): All rental car companies at Logan Airport are located in one convenient facility.
• How to Access: After collecting your luggage, follow the overhead orange signs for the “Rental Car Center.” Board the designated blue-and-white unified shuttle bus, which runs directly to the RCC 24/7.

Plan Ahead for Smooth Transportation

By choosing the Boston airport shuttle system and public transportation, you contribute to reducing traffic congestion and promoting environmental sustainability.

For the most current, real-time schedules, route maps, and fare information, we highly recommend using the official MBTA website or a transit-focused mobile application on your smartphone. Planning your route in advance will ensure a seamless and stress-free start to your time in Boston.
