Practical Notes

• Bus frequency: In peak season expect 15–25 minute headways; off-season may be hourly on some routes.
• Planning buffer: Museums and meals expand time estimates — give yourself 30–60 minutes extra per major stop.
• Transfers: Many stops are near MBTA stations — use local transit for faster point-to-point hops if needed.
