 Harbor Express Routes

Courtesy Water Transportation Bus Service

Massport shuttle bus #66 makes continuous regular trips between the Logan dock, airport terminals, and the MBTA Blue Line station during regular water taxi and water shuttle operating hours. The ride between the terminals and the Logan dock takes approximately 15 minutes.

Board the water transportation (#66) bus at the curb outside of the arrivals area at each airport terminal. Those seeking to ride as water taxi should ask the bus driver to call ahead to alert the vessels that passengers are en route to the dock. Once at the dock, please wait at the top of the gangway or inside the pavilion until instructed to board the vessel.

Passengers bound for departing flights should proceed up the gangway and board the bus near the pavilion after arriving at the Logan dock. An audio recording will provide information on airline locations in the various airport terminals.

For additional information regarding getting to and from Logan, please call 1-800-23-LOGAN (TTY: 1-800-262-2335).
