Your correct the last mayor used to tell the story about people who would come up to him in different places and say we loved your city but it was so hard to drive around in and he would say good , we don’t want you to drive ,. You can walk to just about everything or take the subway which is very easy to use ,just orange , green and blue with big maps showing the different routes all over the stations or a bus . Boston is one of the only big cities without a grid , the main streets were built on the way the horses carried loads up from the harbor. The whole Freedom Trail can be down while walking in a tour or by yourself , the beaches are accessible by public transportation and we also now have a gorgeous casino and sports betting , come visit us sometime just don’t drive your car . I also ride my bike around city

Many things changed in the past few years. Coach no longer includes meals but there is a place to buy food "cafe"
Pillows and blankets are supplied in the rooms Do they still have a breakfast? Contintial Breakfast - Egg sandwich (yuk), cereal/Milk, Coffee, OJ What is the procedure for getting seats, are they assigned when you arrive at the station? Rooms are assigned at booking Any other items we should know about? You better be steady on your feet - stairs are tight and steep. The ride is rough. Departs at 5 pm and is scheduled to arrive about 10. It is often Late, once it was early. The trip can be delayed for freight trains on the line as they have priority. Advantage: removes about 2/3 of my drive. Coach seats as low as $100. Flying is cheaper and faster - but car rental is $$$. As a solo driver I cannot drive 3 days anymore safely. Top bunk is hard to climb into. Bedrooms include private toilet (yeah) but pricey. |

Excuse me but what are you talking about, i based my post on tourist where everything they want to see is within walking distance or public transportation , they can get to beaches Carson beach , m street beach, Constitution Beach and a short bus ride to Revere Beach in Revere the first public beach in America .The casino is in Everett but most people wouldn’t know the difference because it sits on border of Boston , so maybe your just one of those people who has to be in his car to go down the corner store ,for myself I’ll keep walking
