Boston issues medallions for the right to own a taxi cab.
Its a bidding war. A medallion sells for more than a house.

Rising high on the Greenway, the five star Boston Harbor Hotel rating from Mobil compliments the area. Not too far away shines the bustling pennisular of East Boston and Logan Airport. The airport is adding non-stop flights by AirTran Airways, Spirit Airlines, and JetBlue Airways to South and Midwest destinations.

Last Day of 2007 Bookends $15 Billion Big Dig Highway Construction Completion in Boston. Attention is now focused on maintaining the Big Dig system for 100 years without significantly increasing toll rates charged to Boston motorists.

The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Conservancy received funding to beautify space above the Big Dig tunnel, the waterfront, the adjoining business district and the new residental communities near the submerged highway.

In our video episode titled "Greenway Talks" © one person we interviewed said "the Greenway is the place to be in Boston." Special reports written about the Big Dig over the years cover its political developments and its tunnel leaks. We think the Boston Globe deserves the honors for covering the project from all the important angles over the years, however, one may wonder aloud what was it about this project that the Boston Globe did not say? Everyone in town has a story to tell you about their Big Dig experiences. The Big Dug is Dug.


Logan Airport Ground Travel Options: private coach transportation can be as cost effective as a taxi cab; use a Boston cab for short distances; try to negotiate fares; private car operators are worth considering; and don't forget about ZIP CAR RENTALS.

Taxi charge about $5 a Mile! Boston taxi cab rates are regulated by the City of Boston. Many drivers own their own cars. Others have separate cell phones (get a number). Your first 1/8 mile cost $2.25. Each additional eighth mile adds up.

IN TOWN - a fare from Forest Hills to Logan Airport is about $25. From Jamaica Plain to the North End is about $20.

One family from the South Shore - Paid $40 to a private coach carrier: the chaffeur opened the door. Their comfortable plush executive Oldsmobile came with a big back seat and adequate trunk cargo space. It picked up six suitcases and three persons at 6 a.m. for a front door-to-airport terminal departure gate trek from Milton to Logan to catch a plane.

Depart Logan by Foot
For walkers, bikers and those who want to leave Logan by foot, take the MBTA Blue line train for $1.25 before senior citizen discounts are applied. To get there, look for the free MBTA Blue Line shuttle bus that visits Logan's ground transportation area. Once on the Blue Line you can GO anywhere in Boston.

Boston by Car

Big Dig roads will take you away from Logan airport to center city and destinations south, north, west and further east along Boston Harbor.

The shortest center city route by auto is through the Callahan Tunnel and some would argue the best path may be the Ted Williams Tunnel. Areas north and south of the city are accessible from Logan via the Callahan tunnels or the Ted Williams tunnel routes. To go west of Boston, take the Ted Williams Tunnel route because it will mate with the west bound Big Dig highway connection to the Massachusetts Turnpike I-90 highway.

2007 news about Big Dig Leaks
.(BOSTON/AP) "Advisory: A spokesman for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority overseer of the Big Dig, said the leaks are a problem that the project will have to deal with for the foreseeable future."


Duck Tours, Trolley Sightseeing
The Big Dig Highway affects sightseeing operators and city traffic flows. You can use Boston Duck Tours, Beantown Trolleys, Cityview Trolley Tours and others but, they sell out all seats very quickly!

Customers wait in long lines. The City of Boston provides just 96 sightseeing vehicle licenses each year at a cost of $10 per seat per tour company. Tour operators turn down new business during peak tourist traffic months. Boston received 16 million visitors and tourists in 2004 and anticipates a 3% increase for the year 2005.

When Driving these Routes..
If you are destined for New Hampshire, Cambridge, Tufts University or other locales from Logan, head through the Ted Williams tunnel and look for the I-95 North highway connector. Keep an eye out for Storrow drive for heading towards Fenway Park and Boston University. Look for Memorial Drive for heading to Harvard University, MIT and Cambridge and other points west if you don't want to pay for tolls on the Turnpike.

Oct 8, 2006 - Condo auction for homes near India and Broad streets on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway is boon to bidders due to market downturn.

Penthouses with a terrace and water views turned over for $1.0 - $1.3mil down over 30% prior listed price, as two hundred bidders raised their hands during the Folio-Boston auction of unsold units. During the auction a condominium on the market $1.2 million was snatched for less than $900K as other bidders did nothing but took notes while waiting for the next downtown luxury condo auction event to happen - Buy or Sell Real Estate in Boston.

Big Dig Traffic

Be patient don't honk your horn!! Traffic congestion causes delays on the Big Dig highway tunnel system. Every day there is congestion but more so during the work week and it depends on the time of day you travel. The Big Dig highway goes North past the old Boston Garden, and South past Chinatown. The Big Dig highway goes under the Rose Kennedy Greenway and through downtown Boston.
