| Another option is Logan Express from the airport to the Anderson Transportation Center in Woburn (and vise versa) just off the intersection of Rtes 128 and 93. Easy commute from Lincoln and plenty of cheap parking. Gary Taylor Beaver Pond Rd. Sent from my iPhone Uber to north station, then commuter rail to lincoln. One other option to consider is the Logan Express that drops off and picks up in Framingham (or technically Natick right now at the mall as the usual stop is under construction).
Hi Jane,
If your houseguest is truly open to the adventure and for taking advantage of public transportation, they can take the Silverline from the Airport Terminal to South Station, then take the redline MBTA train to Alewife, and be picked up there; alternately, they can get to South Station via the Silverline (which are electric buses, not subway trains), take the redline MBTA train to Porter Sq, and get the commuter rail train to Lincoln (train station is near Donelans.)
The Fitchburg commuter trains (the line going to Lincoln) run about 1x/hour and a one-way adult fare is ~$8.50. Red line fare is ~$2.50 one ride. I am not sure if the Silver line is an additional fee these days or not, it used to be free; the fare might be similar to the redline fare and there are vending machines for tickets.
Some Fitchburg line commuter rail train times (non-rush hours) designate Lincoln as a “flag stop,” which means one has to alert the conductor that you want to get off at a particular stop (well ahead of arriving at that stop of course.) For commuter rail, one can purchase tickets online or on the train. (There may be a slight extra fee for buying the ticket on the train, not sure.) There are commuter rail discounts for seniors and for students. Good luck and hope they make it to Lincoln smoothly.
