Boston Central Location Famous Nightlife Chinatown

Downtown Boston is easy to navigate. It’s compact walkable has an abundance of taxis yes they still exist! And Uber's are always a tap away. What makes Boston so accessible is it's public transportation system. The apartment is located only one block from "Boylston Street" station of Green MBTA Line. The MBTA is Boston’s public transportation system and it’s a great way to get around quickly and cheaply. The “T” refers to the subway which runs throughout Boston into Cambridge and into nearby suburbs providing access to all the attractions located in Boston. Just look for the big T in a circle to find a stop. You can also take buses to get all over the city and the Commuter Rail is an easy way to get to points outside of Boston. You can buy paper “Charlie Tickets” for single or multiple subway rides at vending machines located in most stations. When your ticket runs low visit a fare vending machine to add value. A single basic fare for the T is $2.75 with a Charlie Ticket although if you pick up a Charlie Card (a plastic card like a credit card) the fare is lower at $2.25 for one way. You can load the Charlie Card with an amount of your choosing so it's smart way to explore the city. They're available at almost every T stop and are free to get. Once on board hang on! Being one of the oldest public transportation systems in the country the T is not always the smoothest ride. Driving downtown can be a challenge with its dated road layout and limited parking options but it’s the most convenient option for travel outside of Boston Proper. If you have to part your vehicle you can download "ParkBoston" app and remotely pay for meters. All meters are free starting 8pm till 8am everyday, Sundays and holidays. There are also several paid parking lots and Tufts parking garage around the block. Please check out a website called Spot Hero to find the most updated options and prices
