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.

As it…read moreweaves into the non decript bus stop near Downtown Crossing the only sign that there is any thing there are the crowds of young professionals waiting impatiently for their chariot. 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.

We didn't really know what to do at the start because there weren't any instructions of how to purchase a ticket. Apparently you can just put your card to the turnstile and it will credit you for a ride and open the gate. Ignore others jumping the gate. It's not right and others we talked to said eventually people get caught jumping the gate or drafting people through.

There's so much more I want to see like Isabella Gardener Museum( biggest art heist of all time ), Boston Library, Acorn Street and more.

Coming from Los Angeles where I live with transportation that's struggling, Boston's system is a breath of fresh air. Not perfect, there are some delays and a bit of confusion - I'd get over it fast if I'd live there! But it's reliable, comes fast, takes you everywhere in the city, great connections. You can take it to and from the Airport (Logan) which it's a major plus! Pretty fast and easy. It is the oldest in USA (Bolyston station has a small nice museum inside, very cool!), so many stops don't have AC, but they have fans. Staff- some folks nice and helpful, some just OK. Not the cleanest, a tad squeaky, but it extends to ferry lines as well. A few nitpicks, but a solid transportation system that takes you everywhere. Love the lines that take you above ground. I got a pass on a Charlie Card and I used it a lot during my Boston visit. My husband lived here in college and told me it's still has the same smell. Nothing bad for him.

But it's still not a station at which I want to wait for a long time in cold weather!

We tried booking the direct train for a concert in Foxborough at the Gillette stadium but it sold out in advance online quickly. We then took the regular train, bought tickets at the desk and the workers were super friendly and helpful and told us where to go and it would tell us where our train track would be departing from. It was very bustling on a Thursday afternoon, once we got our track everyone ran to try to get a seat. Lots of stores and restaurants. For 3 adult one way tickets it was about $26 in total so a little over $8 a ticket one way for an adult. Located in the middle of town and not too far from hotels and public transportation. Took less than an hour to get to Foxborough and was pretty convenient.

Yelp Review 2026 #208:…read more We took a train from South Stadium to "Boston" Stadium (Gillette Stadium) for the World Cup and back. The station was buzzing with people rushing to get to work and futbol fans trying to get to the stadium. Police were everywhere. World Cup volunteers and train station staff were very helpful and patient. We paid $85 for roundtrip train tickets from Boston to Foxborough. Normally, it's under $20. We booked the 9am train which is boarding group A. We started lining up to the side of South Station. They had free sunscreen, water, and bug repellent wipes for us. We didn't board until after 9:45am and it was chaotic. Some people were running towards the train instead of staying in an organized line - most of them were foreigners that don't believe in rules, manners and decorum which is beyond the station's control. The train was open seating. There are food stalls, shops, and pharmacy at South Station. The restrooms are not the cleanest as one would expect from a train station at a big city. We've also used this station to get to different parts of Boston before and after the World Cup. The trains were alright.
