T / subway: Take the T

    Getting TO/AROUND: In Boston we call our public transit "The T" - it's a underground (mostly) train system. It's great fun, and it is very inexpensive. You just buy a token before you get on the train, and deposit it in the slot.

    You dont have to worry about purchasing cards and keeping them til the end or anything like that, which I found confusing on DC's "M"

    There are maps at each and every station and there are several lines, each a different color heading out to different outlying areas of the city. If you just take a quick look at the map it will be very easy to find what you are looking for.

    It's fairly clean too.

    Taxi Cabs: Hailing a Cab!

  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Car/Motor Home
    Getting TO/AROUND: Get a Cab!! Yes, you can hail cabs in Boston. It isn't done as often as it is in London or New York City, but people do it.

    If you are at a location such as a hotel or restaurant, it is better to have the concierge call a cab for you, or look up taxis or cabs in the yellow pages and call one for yourself. The Yellow Cab company is reliable and good.

    They are expensive though.
