If your flight lands late at Logan, your public transport options narrow. Here is what to expect.
What runs late
The Silver Line SL1 is the late-night public option from Logan. The MBTA timetable checked on 16 October 2026 lists the first departures from the Logan terminals at about 5:30 AM and the last listed ones at about 2:15-2:23 AM. Late-night trips vary by day and by service changes, so check the MBTA timetable for your date before relying on it. Logan Express and Blue Line hours also differ by route and day; confirm them on Massport and the MBTA if you plan to use them.

If your flight lands after the last SL1, you are choosing between a taxi, an app ride or a pre-booked transfer.
Taxis after midnight
Taxis are metered on the Boston Police Hackney Carriage Unit tariff of $2.60 for the first 1/7 mile plus $0.40 for each additional 1/7 mile (about $2.80 a mile), plus $28 per hour of waiting time. Tolls are additional; the city rate sheet lists a $2.75 toll on trips from Boston proper to Logan. The published meter rates list no night surcharge.
Ride-hailing apps after midnight
Both services operate late at night, but pricing is unpredictable and unpublished — the app quotes you at the moment you request. Compare the live quote with the taxi tariff above; app prices can rise when demand is high, and a metered taxi is not priced by demand.
Pre-booked transfers
A private transfer to downtown at night is a fixed price quoted at booking (see the live From price on this page). Check whether the booking includes flight tracking and how long the driver waits after landing, so you know what happens if your flight is delayed.
Waiting at the airport
If you arrive very late and have an early morning connection or appointment, Logan is not designed for comfortable overnight stays. If you need a bed, confirm the walkway or shuttle details and late check-in with the hotel before you fly.

When a private transfer from BOS is the right choice
- Landing after the last train or bus: the driver is booked to your flight number and tracks the real arrival time, so a delay does not cancel the pickup.
- Arrivals after midnight: no searching for a rank or a night surcharge; the price you booked is the price you pay.
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Boston is from €105, about €26 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
