πŸš— Ground Transportation Quick Reference

Boston is very commuter-friendly. The MBTA (“T”) is the most affordable way in from Logan, and Uber, Lyft, taxis, and a dedicated shuttle are all available.

πŸš‡ Public Transit Tip

Boston Logan is served by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA, or “the T”). At your hotel, you can walk to nearby restaurants and use public transit, Uber, or Lyft for sightseeing. Note: service is limited on Saturdays β€” worth planning ahead since the conference itself falls on a Saturday.
