Boston has a well-organized and reliable transportation system. You have various transportation choices close to the University, including buses, cabs, water taxis and subways. Buses and subways are the most popular forms of public transportation for students. There are several accessible transportation stops at walking distance from multiple Northeastern University off-campus student housing.
1. Bus
Local buses are a more economical (albeit slower) type of public transit than the "T," despite Boston's bus system occasionally being a little trickier to navigate than the "T." There are around 200 bus lines in the city. Find the most efficient route to your destination using T's website's trip planning tool. A one way ride on the bus will cost around $2.00-$3.00.
2. Subway
The city of Bolton has the oldest subway in the part of North America. It is the first underground streetcar which started in the year 1897. Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, MBTA, also operates the metro network. The third rail provides the most rapid network in the outermost areas of the Blue Line. Roughly, a one-way subway ride will cost around $2.50-$3.50. As a student, you can save money by purchasing a monthly LinkPass for $80, which eliminates the need to buy daily bus tickets.
3. Bicycle
Students can also opt for bicycles; it is an easy way of commuting in and around the neighbourhood. There are a bunch of Northeastern University off-campus student housing offering parking spaces for bikes. Bicycles are more of an environment-friendly option.
