The Logan Express is an airport bus shuttle which operates between Boston Logan International Airport and Massachusetts suburbs. The service, which is funded by Massport, consists of five routes that run between all of Logan Airport's terminals and the towns of Braintree, Framingham, Peabody, Woburn, and the Boston neighborhood of Back Bay. Each route runs direct between the airport and its suburban terminus on a set schedule. The Logan Express operates using motorcoach-style buses on most of its routes, except for Back Bay, which uses Massport owned airport shuttle buses.
