Arriving by Air
If arriving by air, you may choose to take a taxi (estimated total cost: $35) or you may take our public transportation system. In Boston, we call our subway system the “T” and the trip from the airport to MIT is free. Below are directions if taking the T.
From any terminal at Logan Airport, take the Silver Line bus to South Station. At South Station, change to the Red Line subway (towards Alewife). The Kendall Square/MIT Station and the Central Square Station are both convenient to the MIT campus.
