To save money on Uber take the silver line one stop from the airport and then call it

The issue is that the one stop from the airport took OP about an hour. Once you get out of the pain tunnel and onto surface streets and a dedicated right of way, the silver line is only a few minutes out from South Station.

Yup, and an Uber would have been in that same traffic.

At that point, you could also just take the shuttle to the Airport stop on the blue line for free.

The silver line is free when you’re leaving the airport as well. I usually take it to south station and call a Lyft from there. I’ve saved $40-60 on rides doing that.

Blue line is faster though.

I haven't tried the blue line one yet. Are the Lyft fares decreased significantly there?

When Lyft rides are $60 to Belmont, South Station will save me up to $40 well the blue line station with only save me $20.

I think avoiding the tunnel is a lot of it
