That is where the biggest need comes from. There are just not enough buses running, especially during rush hour. So many people crowd bus that a lot of people get on one stop before to escape the crowds. During the day is not as bad & a seat is usually available. The drivers tend to be nice & efficient. While most of the buses on this line are not the newest in the fleet they are usually clean & mechanically up to snuff. The inbound line gives riders a nice option to South Station & beyond.

There's a quirk of the bus schedule that the 4:33am 89 goes to Sullivan Station, where it turns into a 93 and goes to Haymarket (where you can catch a host of other early morning buses, like special routes of the 39 and 57 that start at Haymarket). The bus came precisely on schedule at Powderhouse Circle (a minute after 4:33) and was exactly on schedule at Sullivan (4:47) and Haymarket (4:57). I'm one for one with this bus. Four stars for precision.

We were looking for a way to transport 50+ guests to/from our venue (ceremony/cocktail/reception…read moreall in one site) - from two hotels in Westford, MA, roughly 15 minutes away....to keep our guests from having to worry about getting there, and to prevent drinking and driving. We looked into limos, coaches, etc...but as our wedding was at a barn (Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA) - school buses seemed fun & fitting. I e-mailed for a quote (last year), and within a day heard from Jessy. Over the weeks and months, our needs/ideas changed a little bit...and I'd discuss changes with Jessy, and same day - have a new quote. The price was MORE than fair, we were able to add gratuity right to our AmEx (one less thing to worry about), and the service was quick, efficient, 100% on-time...and certainly affordable. FYI: We got 2 buses to go from hotels to venue....then 1 bus left, and the other bus remained and did 2 round-trips back to the venue near the end / after the wedding. Weddings are a lot of work...if you need group transportation... definitely consider Local Motion - it will be one less thing to worry about, because they will take care of things without a problem, without any catches, and without any small print. Thank you Local Motion, and Jessy, for making this part of our wedding so easy to coordinate...and for a fun bus ride as a married couple :)

Where to begin…read more Short Version: Not dependable if you have a timely event (Show up late) Awful customer service once they have your money (Excuses after excuses and passes blame to the company that they subcontracted) Drivers showing up not knowing where they are supposed to go or how to get there (passengers giving turn by turn directions) Resulted in a delayed wedding Long Version: We hired McGinn to shuttle for our wedding. I booked over a year in advance seeing as every vendor wedding related seems to book up fast. They didn't require a deposit or anything and didn't want money until just before the event. Everything leading up seemed to go very smoothly. The day of the event, and leading up to, I asked for the drivers contact information. Being that I would be occupied for the day, I wanted to get this to someone in the event something went wrong. Whether he forgot, didn't have it, or was just plan sloppy, I didn't get that until half hour before the busses were supposed to arrive and by that point I was occupied with other wedding things. So the fun begins. The agreement was the busses (2 total) were leaving the hotel to drive to the venue at 4:15. No later. Any guests that were late were to find their own ride. That how we wanted it. Only one bus shows up on time. They have 15 extra guests load the busses only to kick them off because of capacity. Not a huge deal, but you would think you might count. The 2nd bus shows up 30 minutes late. I had people calling me while I was doing pictures, etc because they weren't sure if we had a ride that we promised. So we had people ordering ubers, driving when they didn't want to drive (they plan on drinking), and other standing around in confusion. Sort of embarrassing. Finally they load the 2nd bus and the bus driver has no idea where he is going. Not only lacking directions, he literally didn't know what the venue was. Passengers had to put directions into their phone and guide him. I called Jim at McGinns, my point of contact, and he decided to pass the whole thing off on traffic for being late. Guy, you run a transportation company. Its a Friday in Boston. You think you would give yourself enough time and not be shocked by some traffic. Keep in mind this was a pick up in Danvers, so not running around the streets of Boylston and normally a 25 min drive for them). The bus should have given themselves enough time to get there at 3:45 considering it also takes time to load passengers if you are leaving at 4:15. At worse the traffic doubles the time it would have taken them to get there and they still arrive at 4:15. Everyone else was on time except the bus so I'm not sure how much traffic there really was. He then wanted to pass the blame off to the company he subcontracted to. Jim, 1) not my problem we booked 1 year and advance and then you were subcontracting. 2) we sent you the money, not whoever you hired. Responsibility stays with you. Business 101. I didn't want to ask for much in return, just something for them to admit some guilt and realize they made a mistake. A couple hundred bucks wasn't going to change our lives or theirs, but I wanted to make them admit their mistakes. Anytime Jim said he would call me back, he wouldn't. He said he would have the owner call, he didn't. I can't tell if its the mistakes they made or how they handled it that were worse. STAY AWAY

He just yanked them out with a pole that had a hook on the end, picked them up and threw them. My daughter's brand new digital camera was smashed because of the driver's negligence. She didn't even get to take photos during her trip because of how the bags were thrown. She told me that the driver smashed it when they arrived on the first day of the trip. She's very upset over this, as am I, because she was not able to take photos during her week long trip. The $100 camera could be replaced, my child having photos of her and her friends on a once in a lifetime trip can not be replaced.
