Travel Advice
Regional Rail or Bus
We strongly encourage rail or bus transportation when possible. Amtrak (excl. Downeaster), most regional bus lines, and several MBTA Commuter Rail lines (incl. Providence and Worcester) terminate at Boston’s South Station. From there, transfer to the MBTA Red Line subway (outbound towards Alewife) and detrain at the Kendall / MIT station. Subway fare is $2.40 per trip, with contactless payment available.
Air
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is served by free MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus rapid transit at all terminals. The Silver Line terminates at South Station, with free transfer to the Red Line subway (outbound towards Alewife). Detrain at Kendall / MIT station.
For ride share, Logan has designated pickup areas; expect costs at least $30 each way between Logan and MIT.
Auto
Though improving, the Boston area experiences extraordinary congestion. Expect typical charges of $35-$60 per day for overnight lots and garages near MIT and at hotels. The most convenient park-and-ride option is at MBTA’s Alewife Station, with $9 daily rates (7-day limit) and direct inbound subway service to Kendall / MIT station.
