The city has an efficient and comprehensive bus network with over 150 routes across the Greater Boston area. It comprises a number of express routes into the city, suburban services and shuttles to and from Logan Airport.

Getting Around Boston - America's oldest underground system
The Boston subway system is made up of 5 main routes of which 3 are termed as rapid transit lines. Each enjoys several interchanges with other lines, commuter surface rail and bus stations to enable seamless connections across the city. It is the oldest underground system in the US, when its first route opened in 1897. The Boston over ground rail system is much more comprehensive and has services to virtually every major town in the state which terminates at North or South stations in the city. There are inter state Amtrak services from both stations. Day and weekend passes are available which can be used on some bus and underground routes.
