Where along the pike?

You could go have them take Logan Express to Framingham, or have them take Logan Express to Woburn and pick them up there. (Yes, it’s a bit of a drive from the Pike - but you totally miss all the construction. There’s also a variety of fast food and reasonable restaurants if they want food after their flight.)

Edit - even if the bus hits some traffic, so what - it’s the bus, you’re still not driving in it.
