Boston the Scholar - Go Around by Public Transportation

Talking about transportation, Boston outperforms Manhattan and Washing D.C. again. All the 3 cities offer subway one day pass. The Boston one will expire 24 hours after the purchase time. Unlikely, Manhattan pass will expire at the midnight even you get it in the evening of the day. For the D.C. pass, it cannot be used during peak hours. Therefore, only the Boston one is a real one day pass.

The subway pass is good. How about the subway system? Both trains and stations are clean and safe. And the network covers most tourism spots. So, the subway is the best way for going around in the city.



Ferry is a good choice if you wanna travel between Boston downtown and Charlestown Navy Yard. The fee is also covered by the Boston one day pass. Fabulous pay-cruise view like is available upstairs at no extra cost.



China Town bus was F and my choice to Boston. The reasons were very simple. It's cheap and reliable. This bus company did provide excellent services. We wanted call a limo when we back to Manhattan at late night. It's staff not only advised us limo company numbers but also accompanied us until a limo arrived for the sake of safety. We were very lucky to meet so many good people during the trip.
