Getting TO/AROUND: Boston has a pretty extensive system of public transportation consisting of buses, a subway, commuter trains, and even ferry service. The system collectively is called the 'T', although most tend to use the term primarily to refer to the subway portion of it.

The subway consists of four lines - Red, Green, Orange, and Blue - and among them covers most of the city and the immediate suburbs. Each line is different, with different "personalities" to its stations and equipment. Incidentally, Boston's is the oldest subway system in the country!

The ferry services the Inner Harbor and runs the commuter service to the southern suburbs and Logan airport as well.

The commuter rail spreads all over the Eastern half of Massachusets, north to south, with the trains coming into Boston's two very appropriately named North and South Stations.

And the buses are... Well, they're buses. They go all over Boston and suburbs.

Getting TO/AROUND: Boston's Logan Airport is the largest & busiest airports in the New England. If you're headed to the city of Boston by air, Logan is your best option. It's located very conveniently, less than 2 miles from downtown, across the harbor from the city. It's a very easy 10-20min ride by public transportation. There're several tunnels that connect the island that Logan Airport is on to the city proper. You can get to Boston from the airport by car, taxi, bus, or subway.
