bus schedule from boston logan airport to providence

hi lovies-
here's the scoop on the bus schedule that runs from boston logan airport to providence. it's super easy - you just walk out of baggage claim and there's a designated area for buses bound for all new england parts. there's also an information booth in baggage claim and you can ask there if you need more assistance.
you buy your ticket on the bus (the driver will pull over once all the passengers from all terminals are loaded up) and he'll collect $22 for a one-way ticket (or $40 for RT) to providence. there are 2 stops in providence, but we recommend you get off at KENNEDY PLAZA. if you're staying at hotel providence or anywhere else in downtown, you'll be minutes away from a hot shower!
