This week as I was going through the dining room talking to our guests, I was asked a question about one of them that stumped me for a minute. However, I got on the Internet, and then the phone, and learned all about the subject.
The question was about the bus that goes from Salem's train station to Logan Airport. I had literally never heard of it, in the 12 years I have been managing the Hawthorne Hotel. I guess you would have to say "shame on me" for not knowing about this nifty service.
The bus, the #459, leaves Salem's "T" station pretty much every hour, and takes about an hour to get to Terminal C at Logan Airport. From there you can take a free inter-airport shuttle bus to your particular terminal if it is not C.
The really good news is that the cost is only $3.50, or 40 cents if you are a senior! That is simply amazing, considering that other methods of transport start more in the $40 price range and go on up from there. So, $40 or 40 cents -- you can travel to or from Logan Airport.
I asked our guest if she would let me know how it was, and she did so pretty much instantly. Here is here emailed report to me:

Thank you for your hospitality!
Got to Terminal C in little more than an hr on the MBTA bus. It was just like any big-city bus--just fine. No steps @ Salem depot; easy off @ Logan. Not much luggage space, but my carry-on presented no problem.
The amazing thing was the fare--$0.40 for a senior.
Best, Carole T-S

So this is another option for anyone traveling from or to Logan Airport and visiting Salem, thanks to my new friend, Carole.
I hope you enjoy learning this "something new" that is likely very old, with me today!
