Boston Transit Question...

Hello Everyone,
First post on the board... I know someone here can help me out.
Does anyone know if public transportation runs to the Tweeter Center from Downtown Boston? I'm trying to figure out if I should rent a car, and pay the nightly parking fees at the hotel, or if it's pretty easy to take the transit from the downtown area.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I dont know of any sort of transportation that runs to the Tweeter Center. It's in the middle of nowhere. Your best bet would be to call Greyhound or something, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

    The commuter rail does run to Mansfield, check http://www.MBTA.com look at the Providence/Stoughton line for schedule. The station is in town, you'd likely need a local cab to get to the venue, unless there is a shuttle on show nights, but I don't know of anything.

    Edit: looking at the schedule, it seems the last train out of Mansfield is at 10:18 PM, so rent a car.

    getting a cab after this show will be about as easy as building a car out of spare parts in the parking lot and then driving the newly built vehicle home.

    Ponc is correct - rent a car. Also, look into Providence as an airport option...Mansfield is about halfway between Boston and Providence. Might be a bit more economical for you.
    I love to turn you on

    and the Prov airport is easier to get in and out of....but the rental car facilities can be a bit hidden due to the highway structure being different than most cities I travel too.....but good call on looking at the Prov airport.

    insider tip:

    VIP Parking or it will take 3 hours to get out of the parking lot!

    dude, just hire a limo. No worries about parking, the limo takes you right to the front of the ticket window....it's a piece of cake. Split it with a couple of buddies and it's about the same as a taxi. Maybe a tad more but you go in style and you can drink in comfort!
