There are two options: 1. From your terminal at the airport, take a Silver Line SL1 bus to South Station ($2.00 fare if using CharlieTicket or cash). Take the Red Line train toward Alewife and get off at the Kendall Square stop. There is a free transfer from the Silver Line to the Red Line. 2. From your terminal at the airport, take a free blue shuttle bus to the Airport station on the Blue line. Then, pay your fare ($2.00 per ride using Charlieticket, regardless of distance or change of trains) at the station and take the Blue Line Inbound toward Bowdoin. At the Government Center stop, change to the Green Line going toward Park Street. Note that you can take any of the trolleys (B,C,D, or E) to get to Park Street.
