the T tracks in Boston

The "T" is the oldest subway system in America, although it's not entirely underground. There are several lines serving all the major areas of central Boston, and, PLEASE, do take the "T" and don't drive in the city! The roads are narrow, the drivers seem possessed (I've never heard so much beeping in my life, and I'm from Chicagoland), and there's no reason to add to pollution with gas fumes in such a charming city. The "T" costs $1 per ride, no matter how far you take it, and you need to have exact change to get on (no pennies, but they do take single dollar bills now). If you get on underground, you will need to buy a token before you go through the turnstyle (same price everywhere). It's a little slow and not quite as comfortable or efficient as London's Underground (or even NYC's subway), but it seemed safe and was very convenient.

The $22 vistors pass was well worth the money, but you can see lots by foot though

The T (the trolley/train, signs marked with a big T)! It is a wonderful way to get around in Boston. But I would say walk around is the best way to see Boston, when the weather is good, that is.

By plane or Bus or Car or whatever... The 'T' is the subway and I think the oldes one in the US. Don't be afraid it is fast, cheap and perfect to get arround in Boston. Do NOT rent a car you will go crazy!!

Subway isn't bad. I thought it would be very criminalized, dirty and inconvenient (especially after Moscow metro) but was pleasantly surprised... It is quite good, of course it doesnt' run avery 1.5 minutes, but it's pretty decent, respectable people use it as well as poor, not very interesting inside but useful. Because otherwise you will spend in your car all you Boston time (you know, big city and all that stufff with traffic...). Token is 1$

Boston is very well connected. Rail ( Amtrak ), road and Boston airport ( Logan Intl . ) are within easy travelling distance. Much of Boston can be seen on foot. Especially good i s the ' Freedom trail ' -signposted on the pavement ( American = sidewalk ) . The MBTA - Massachusetts Borough Transit Authority subway system is clean, safe and efficient ( use common sense at night ).

The T. Tokens cost $1 (40¢ for under-12s; 25¢ for senior citizens), though a trip on one of the Green or Red Line surface extensions can cost up to $2.25 (you pay the driver). The subway, or T, was America's first and is efficient, cheap and easy to use. Trains run from 5.15am to 12.30am Monday to Saturday and from 6am to 12.30am on Sundays. Free subway maps are available from major stations such as Harvard, Government Center, North Station, Back Bay, South Stationand Park Street. 'Outbound' and 'inbound' services often have different subway entrances: the direction is in relation to Park Street.

Hey, if you are not an aggressive driver...just get cheap parking and take the 'T' about. I usually park towards the end of Newbury st. because there is an entrance to get right on the expressway there. Plenty of alternate transportation awaits as well...tours, horse buggys, taxi....
