From the UK so not sure of the system.Thanks If you use google maps, and get the directions between the two, click on the "train" icon (third from left) and it gives directions using public transportation. Boston's "T" system is a combination of subways, street cars, commuter rail, and buses. Having said that, it isn't so easy to get there using public transportation. A five minute walk to the SL2 (Silver Line #2, a bus), direction "South Station", and then 9 minutes on the bus, then in South Station transfer to the "Worcester/Framingham" commuter rail, direction "Worcester" for one stop, about 6 minutes, get off at Back Bay Station. Then a 12 minute walk to the hotel. Fare is $2.75 each. If it were me, I'd cab it (20 minutes) and $25 with tip, or uber/lyft ($15-18). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjen24 Posted August 1, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks for that. Do you know if you can get a Uber cab from the terminal or do you have to pre book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

138east Posted August 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2017 If you can manage your luggage, you can go for free from the airport. Silver Line to South Station, transfer via elevator to the Red Line direction Alewife (back of the train) and go 2 stops to Park St where you transfer to the Green Line B train to go to the Hynes Convention Center stop. This is actually a mostly accessible route, but the accessible transfer at Park Street can be confusing (need to be at the very back of the train and get off on the center platform for the elevator up to the Green Line). Some of the Green line trains have doors that open at platform level and some have steps. Not recommended at rush hour. Hynes is not accessible. If you're really interested and can walk more with your luggage, you can take the Green Line E train to Prudential for an accessible station.
