Logan Airport Express

I took the Logan Airport Express from Framingham on a late weekday afternoon. Forty-​Five minutes from on-​time departure to Terminal 3. Richard the bus operator was very personable and willing to assist any passenger who needed help with directions or questions. I recommend this service as an alternative way to Logan Airport.

Hit or miss with this service. Even though Massport & the T hate to market it, the old fashioned way of taking the Shuttle bus to the Blue Line & then the Orange Line to Back Bay is quicker than Back Bay Logan Express. No count down signs at Logan often mean wasting time when you could have gotten to Back Bay quicker via Blue & Orange. Also fare collection onboard Logan Express is definately in need of improvement!!! After wasting my time not having gotten on the Blue Line, the bus driver then pulls the bus over to slow down the trip even more by walking thru the bus doing manual fare collections!
Also the route sometimes can be a little screwy. I given Logan Express 2^nd & 3^rd chances over The T’s Airport Silver, because the Logan Express unlike the Silver Line will alternate between the Callahan & the Ted Williams depending on traffic. I have however had to experience Logan Express going westbound on the traffic clogged Mass Pike, only to turn around & sit in traffic going Eastbound.
Overall the service is fine if you’re a tourist not entirely familiar with public transportation, and you’ve got a lot of time on your hands, but if you regularly travel between downtown & the airport, take the Blue Line.
