Other Transportation

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)
Take the "T"
Boston’s public transportation system is operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), though locals simply call it the “T.” It offers subway, bus, trolley, and ferry services to nearly every corner of Greater Boston and beyond. Subway lines are color-coded by route: Red, Green, Blue, and Orange, making it easy to navigate the city. The Red Line also includes the historic Mattapan Trolley, which connects Ashmont Station to Mattapan with iconic streetcars.

Nearest Bus Station
The nearest major bus hub to the Westin Seaport Boston is South Station, accessible via the MBTA's Silver Line (SL1, SL2, SL3), which stops at the World Trade Center and Silver Line Way near the hotel, or a short walk/ride. You'll find several MBTA bus routes and the key Silver Line station for connecting to downtown, the airport, and beyond.
