<h2><a name="arriving">Arriving in the City</a></h2>

<h3>From Logan Airport</h3>

<p>Most people travel via these three routes from the airport:</p>

<ul>
<li>Cab. Cabs are located all over the city: at the airport and major subway stations.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/lines/?route=SILVER">Silver Line</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/lines/?route=BLUE">Blue Line</a>
The MBTA website provides a very <a href="http://www.mbta.com/riding_the_t/logan/">helpful page</a> on how to navigate via the Silver Line and Blue Line from the airport.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Commuting from the Suburbs</h3>

<ul>

Take the Green Line to <a href="http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/lines/stations/?stopId=13771">Park Street</a> to reach the office, or to transfer to the North Red Line to connect to MIT. </li>
