Don’t Get Lost!

Todays post is all about traveling while in the city. Most people who haven’t been to Boston assume that they can just drive everywhere. Well that isn’t really the case. I mean yeah you can Uber to your destinations but trust me when I say an Uber in Boston is NOT cheap. Plus you’ll be doing a LOT of traveling and Boston is by no means a small city. Boston’s main source of transportation is through the subway system; or better yet know as the “T”!

To people who have never gotten on a subway, it can be very very intimidating. I know this for a fact. The first time I had to travel in Boston by myself I was pretty scared and overwhelmed. I mean just look at these routes! At first glance you are immediately confused and lost but it’s really not that bad. There’s a lot of things you can do to help you get around the city but there is one way far superior than the others.

The number one thing you want to do to help you understand the subway system in Boston is simple. Ready for it? Download the “Boston T Map” app. It’s that simple! It is essentially your GPS but for the subway system. You put in your exact destination as well as your current location and it will tell you what T to get on and what stops or T switches you need to make. After a while of using this app and getting more comfortable with the subway system you’ll be a pro in no time and you’ll be ready to travel all around the whole city!
