Reply to comment by blackdynomitesnewbag in How Logan Airport almost destroyed East Boston — and how East Boston is still fighting back by MrLaffertyteeingoff

For how close it is, the transit connections aren’t very good. It’s a bit of a waste to deal with all the negative externalities of the close airport when the best way to get there is to drive.

As much as I wish it was more frequent and actually a train the silver line is pretty convenient. It being free and dropping off on the paid side of south station makes visiting here a breeze compared to some airports. Don't get me fucking started on LaGuardia.

Theres the silver line, the blue line, the mbta ferry, park and ride, uber, taxi, water taxi. I get that theres no trains but ffs im not sure what else they can do to improve it.

Blue Line isn't really a direct connection, though. Having to take a shuttle to reach it makes it a much bigger pain.

Uber and taxi are also commonplace at every airport. Not like you can say that that's something that makes Logan better.

Every US airport. Plenty of countries/cities around the world where uber is banned. Never had trouble getting a taxi to be fair, but when theres no uber to compete with they get to bend you over the table
