the T


The Massachusetts Bay Transit, locally called the T, is the way to travel around the Boston metro area. It’s a combination of trolleys, subways and buses that serve all the major sites and neighborhoods. And it’s cheap-a 7 day unlimited rides pass just costs $15.00. Sure beats the high cost of a taxi that is stuck in traffic!

Columbus OH offers some pretty low air fares ranging around $100.00 round trip so combine this air bargain with a T pass and you have your transportation needs covered.

I’m staying in Quincy, MA a suburb south of downtown at the Best Western Adams Inn. Staying here cut my hotel bill in half and it’s about a 10 minute leisurely stroll to a T stop or a 2 minute ride in the hotel courtesy van.

I’m logging off as we’re off to Plymouth this morning.
