There may or may not be a free shuttle but my advice is learn the T. Even if you're only in town for a weekend, it's a much better way to go. Plus the trains are much tighter headings than the 1/2 hour heading a shuttle is likely to be on. A cab (...)

Welcome to Boston!!! (...) The easiest (and cheapest) way in my opinion is to take the Subway (We call it the "T" ). It is very safe and easy to use as long as you don't have a problem or fear of Subway's (Some, like my father do so I just thought (...)
