Starting June 25, C&J Bus Lines will offer continuous half-hour service from Logan Airport northbound until 12:10 a.m. a significant expansion for late-night travelers. The new schedule provides increased flexibility for passengers arriving on later flights. Travelers will experience reduced wait times, improving their overall journey from Boston's primary air hub.
Late-night travel from Logan Airport and South Station was previously constrained by limited public transport options, but C&J is now providing extensive new services. The lack of convenient, affordable alternatives often forced travelers to rely on more expensive ride-share options or taxis.
Regional travelers can expect greater flexibility and reduced reliance on expensive alternatives for late-night journeys, potentially increasing C&J's market share. The strategic move directly challenges existing late-night transportation monopolies, benefiting a wide range of commuters and leisure travelers.

The schedule adjustment caters directly to the busiest periods for regional travel, optimizing resource allocation.
Continuous Service from Logan Airport
Continuous half-hour service from Logan Airport northbound will be available from 12:10 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. The frequency offers unprecedented convenience for passengers arriving late.

The expanded service addresses a long-standing need for reliable late-night public transportation from the airport. Passengers no longer face lengthy waits or limited choices after midnight, enhancing their travel experience significantly.
Addressing South Station's Late-Night Needs
