This part of Seaport is at two levels (well, three if you count the Turnpike) and there is a big "T" sign nearby, but you'll be wondering where the bus stops. Yep, this is a bus stop and not a subway or trolley stop. The Silver Line is an above ground bus, which is electric powered in some parts and diesel in others. World Trade Center MBTA Station is between Courthouse (towards South Station) and Silver Line Way (towards Logan Airport and Design Center). It is on both the SL1 and SL2 lines.

I'm not sure how Yelp decided that my review below was a review of the Courthouse Station when it…read morewas actually a review of the Silver Line but here we are and I'm now ready to review Courthouse Station. Located underneath Seaport Boulevard, it is located a block from the Moakley Courthouse. The station is also very close to the Institute of Contemporary Art. It is completely unlike any other MBTA station I've been to with polished stone floors and brushed steel finishes. Fully handicapped accessible with escalators and elevators between the platform level and street level. There are ticketing kiosks and turnstiles. Courthouse is on the Silver Line between South Station (the inbound terminus) and World Trade Center (outbound, towards Design Center). Buses for SL1, SL2 and SL3 stop here. And it's worth noting that the Silver Line is not trolleys or subway trains. It is a bus service, either regular or articulated "bendy" buses that are electric and/or diesel.

As a visitor to Boston, I have to say the Silver Line is a terrific service getting to and from…read moreLogan Airport. The Silver Line is actually broken up into four different routes so I feel like perhaps there should be separate listings for each. My only experience is with SL1 which runs between South Station in Boston and Logan Airport. Upon arriving into Boston at Logan Terminal C, I followed the signs for public transportation. But there didn't seem to be any signage for the Silver Line. The signs seemed to direct me outside to the curb, but what I found there were buses for other routes, not the Silver Line. I ended up spotting a Silver Line bus further down the terminal about to leave and got in on time. If you are taking the Silver Line for the first time, look outside for the specific stop at the terminal you are located at. The Silver Line makes stops at each terminal (A, B, C and E), with 2 at Terminal B. At Logan Airport, both the front and back entrance will open up. You are free to enter through either door as riding the Silver Line is free from Logan Airport. What other US city offers you free transportation from the airport? Unheard of. After the airport, the bus makes a few stops before reaching its final stop at South Station. If you need to take the Red Line, you can transfer within the station without having to exit meaning a free ride to Cambridge and Braintree. Though you will need to pay for the return trip back to Logan. As for service, I found that the Silver Line runs pretty regularly. I didn't wait more than a few minutes for either trip on the Silver Line. The buses were somewhat full, but I like that the buses have storage spaces for your luggage so you don't have to keep your luggage next to you at all times. I wouldn't recommend taking the Silver Line if you have more than one piece of heavy luggage though as it would be too much trouble. If you are traveling in Boston and the Silver Line is convenient to your location, I would recommend taking it to and from Logan Airport. It is economical and the frequent bus service between South Station to Logan Airport makes it convenient for easy connections to other public bus/train lines in Boston.

It's my end destination to get to work and takes me right back home about 8 hours later. I take the Orange Line part of it but in the past I have been on the Blue. Maybe I'm used to it or just to be expected and not surprised about different issues people talk about. To me, its not really a huge deal. Should they have Charlie Card boxes on the "secret" entrances to the station, yes. Do I need that box, no. Helpful though perhaps to others. No true complaints, it's the T.

I recommend that you look at a real map before you come here, Google Maps Walking won't work well downtown but especially not in the underground part of the station.
