Same trip by taxicab will cost almost $30 and take a little longer.

Hmmmm. I bet this is one of those guys who would wait half an hour for a limo in Manhattan instead of taking a 5-minute walk
<< <i>The MBTA "T" subway will take you from the airport to the convention center. The journey will take less than a half hour and include one line transfer.

it's just two bucks for the trip WTCG wrote about. If you plan on using the T frequently during the week, you can get a $15 pass that will allow unlimited bus and train fares for one week.
Basically, the T should get you wherever you need to go around Boston, and all of the lines come to within a few blocks of each other in the center of downtown.

I thought the story was that he didn't have the exit fare. I don't recall hearing that he was too scared to get off.

If you get a Charlie Card (instead of Charlie Ticket), the fare is $1.70 for the subway, and $1.25 for a bus. If you transfer from bus to subway or vice versa, the whole fare is never more than $1.70 ($1.25 + $.45 transfer for the subway or $1.70 + free transfer to the bus)
<< <i>The Silverline is a bus/subway mix. In downtown, it is underground and electric, and when it gets above ground, it switches to gas. One of the lines runs from South Station to the airport, stopping at each terminal like an airport bus. I'm almost positive it goes to the Convention Center... at least it certainly drives right by it, as that trip is the only reason I ever learned where the Convention Center is located.

Be careful, I think that Jeremy is talking about the new Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, a huge building, but this is not the Hynes Convention Center where the ANA is taking place. The Hynes is next to the Prudential Center.

That's the BCEC, not where you're supposed to go. The show is at the Hynes Convention Center in Back Bay next to the Prudential Center.
