Last Monday was a real adventure: my sister dropped me off at the commuter rail station in Worchester MA, took the train to Boston South Station. From there I took the new Silver Line bus rapid transit (BRT) line to the airport. The photo above is of downtown Boston from the airplane.
The Silver Line has a neat system where they send people heading to the airport with baggage to one end of the platform enabling them to board the bus first and put their baggage on the racks. Then the bus pulls up to the main platform and all the other riders board (there are four stops before the airport).
My only complaint was that the signs in South Station were not easy to read/understand. Specifically, they have a very small silver airplane symbol on a maroon background ... this is supposed to tell you to go this way to the airport. I went up and down the escalators several times looking for the Silver Line to the airport - and, when I - a fairly seasoned public transport user and traveler - have this kind of problem I am sure I am not alone!
The flight to San Francisco was fine. From San Francisco airport I headed south to San Jose via Caltrain. More in my next post!
