Getting around Allston

Allston is served by the Green Line B branch (Packard’s Corner, Harvard Avenue, Griggs Street, and Allston Street stops) and local bus routes 57, 64, 66, and 501.

Boston University is the closest of the three major nearby schools; Harvard and MIT are across the Charles River in Cambridge — a transit or car trip, not walking distance.

Getting to and from the airport

Logan Airport is typically about 20–30 minutes by car or rideshare outside heavy traffic, or 45–60 minutes by public transit with at least one transfer. Times are estimates and can vary significantly with traffic, service changes and wait times.
