Know Before You Go
Public Transit
Boston’s public transportation system is the MBTA, known as “the T.”
From/to Logan Airport:
● Taxi/Lift fare from the airport is about $35–$40, and a rideshare service can range from about $20–$35. During non-rush hour, the ride will take about 15 minutes; during rush hour, it may take 30 minutes or more.
● From any terminal at Logan Airport, take the Silver Line bus to South Station. At South Station, change to the Red Line subway to Kendall/MIT (inbound toward Alewife). The ride should take about 30 minutes and is free. NOTE: The bus and subway is free when departing from the airport but requires a "Charlie Ticket" (machines at stations) for any other entrance point.
● Taking the Red Line from Central Sq. and transferring to the silver-line SL1 to Boston-Logan Airport takes about 1 hour. A Taxi/Lyft MAY be faster but is strongly traffic dependent. Check transit times on google maps before picking an option.
Amtrak
South Station, Boston is the closest train station. South Station is served by the MBTA Red Line, which connects to MIT at the MIT/Kendall stop.
Bluebikes
Bluebikes is the Boston area’s public bike share program. There are several stations around campus for renting or returning a bike. Visitors may purchase an Adventure Pass, which is valid for 24 hours.
Parking
Parking in Cambridge and Boston can be expensive and hard to find. Whenever possible, park where you’re staying and use public transportation or a taxi/rideshare service. If you must drive to the campus, on- and off-street parking is available for a fee, but most public parking is not very close to the center of campus. More parking information is available from Parkopedia.
