Related Notes

The shuttle driver will wait for pick-ups from a commuter train that arrives later than scheduled.

Late afternoon weekday pick-ups may be delayed a few minutes by rush hour traffic.

The last inbound commuter train of the night (12:34 AM on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and on Friday night/Saturday morning) is a “flag stop” train. You must be standing on the platform, visible to the conductor, to stop the train.

The Framingham/Worcester commuter rail line originates at downtown Boston’s South station, which is also served by Amtrak and interstate bus lines. It is possible to travel by the MBTA Silver Line (bus) between Logan (Boston) Airport and Boston’s South Station. Allow about an hour to get from the airport baggage claim area to South Station.
