Massachusetts

It’s all here, but how exactly do you get from here to there and there to here? Don’t worry – there are tons of easy ways to get around the state. Massachusetts transportation modes include car, bus, rail, boat, plane, and our personal favourite, a WW II amphibious landing vehicle, the “duck boat.” Boston’s transportation system, the MBTA or “T”, is the oldest transit system in the nation and the only one we know of that has a hit song written about it.
