This City Just Ranked No. 1 for Public Transit-and No, It's Not New York City

"A new study by luxury vacation home rental platform Wander ranked Boston as the best U.S. city for public transportation for travelers. While we locals may grumble about long waits on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (better known as the "T"), Wander gives the city high marks, noting it has about 41 public transport stations per 100,000 residents. New England's largest city also scored well for its range of options: subway, commuter rail, bus routes, ferries, and paratransit."

"For visitors arriving in Boston, the T often provides the easiest and cheapest first step into the city. Massport operates a free shuttle between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) terminals and the MBTA's Airport Blue Line station. From there, travelers can pay the $2.40 single-ride fare with contactless payment, a CharlieTicket, or a CharlieCard. The Blue Line links to the Orange Line at State Street and the Green Line at Government Center, connecting riders to top attractions like the Freedom Trail,"

Wander ranked Boston the top U.S. city for public transportation for travelers, citing about 41 public transport stations per 100,000 residents and a variety of transit modes. Boston's network includes subway, commuter rail, bus routes, ferries, and paratransit, with the MBTA heavy-rail lines carrying roughly 273,000 daily riders and the Green Line averaging about 90,700 riders. The T opened in 1897, making it the nation's oldest subway system, while New York's MTA remains the largest network with 665 miles of track. Top-five peers included Portland (Oregon), Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Seattle. The Blue Line connects Logan Airport to central lines and destinations for a $2.40 single fare.
