South Shore drivers skip the Sumner by parking at Logan Express Braintree
Logan Express Parking Braintree sits off I‑93 on the South Shore and feeds the dedicated Logan Express coach straight to BOS. This is a remote lot, not on airport property, and pricing runs per day for travelers using the bus, separate from the terminal garages. If you live in Quincy, Braintree, or further south, this often beats fighting your way through the tunnels and terminal road traffic.
The shuttle coach runs about every 30 minutes in normal hours, with travel times to Logan that can stretch when I‑93 or the Southeast Expressway chokes up. One regular calls Braintree their “go‑to” because it stays cheaper than BOS parking and skips the tunnel headache. For Terminal A, B, C, or E, the coach drops you at the central Logan Express stop, and you walk or take the airport circulator from there.
Parking is open for extended travel; people routinely leave cars here for week‑long trips and pay daily. Travelers note the lot can get close to full during school vacation weeks and major holidays, so showing up at least one coach earlier than you think you need during those periods helps. Weekday rush hour is where delays hit hardest, especially morning inbound toward Boston and late‑afternoon outbound.
Complaints mostly land on the buses, not the asphalt. When traffic is bad on I‑93, your total door‑to‑door time can end up similar to just driving to Logan and using an on‑airport garage. Coaches during peak weeks can be crowded, with limited seat choice for families wrangling strollers and multiple bags. Regulars often pre‑pay or keep a stored‑value setup so they can walk straight onto the bus without fussing with kiosks.
Tip: Check a traffic app for I‑93 and the Southeast Expressway about 60–90 minutes before your planned bus; if there’s a major incident, leave earlier or consider a backup plan.
