Davis Sq to Logan

[yangelina.livejournal.com]

Hi folks,
I took a cab from Davis Sq to Logan once upon a time. It was with Planet Tran and I absolutely loved the experience. When I found out that I am allowed to call a cab to Logan for a business trip, I checked their website to get another quote - this time it's going to cost me $59. I don't think there is any way I can explain why a trip from Davis Sq to Logan costs $59, so I may have to go with either Yellow or Green.
So which would you recommend? Yellow or Green (or Cambridge)? I'm looking for a morning ride.
Thanks!

Red Line to Silver Line actually worked well for me the few times I've had to do it. Costs only $1.25 and might even be faster than the cab at some times of day.

It took an hour and a half the one time I did it. Ugh. Getting to the airport from WALTHAM opn public transportation was faster.

I concur.

That's worked well for me, but I've also had to be at the airport early in the morning before public transportation is running, making a cab necessary. I used Green and was happy with the service—the driver was punctual, he used an efficient route, and it wasn't TOO expensive (I almost never take cabs, so anything more than a T fare seems steep to me).

So, do you think your company would pay $59 for Planet Tran to the airport, if you took the T on the return trip, costing them nothing (or next to nothing?)

Hard to say, and I didn't like the idea of a $59 cab ride to the airport anyway, regardless of whether my company pays for the ride. Basically, if I don't feel comfortable paying for it myself, I don't expect anyone else to.
I ended up meeting someone on this business trip who was on the same flight back with me, lives in Medford, and was kind enough to give me a ride home! So my return trip did cost nothing. :)

Oops. Sorry, grapefruiteater. Mistook you for the person who made the original entry.

Likewise; my normal traveling options are bike-legs-T (in that order) so the whole taxi calling/hailing world is pretty foreign/expensive to me. My last Planet Tran ride at $40 was probably the most I'd pay to get to Logan.
I say they ought to connect the Redline to the Blue, one of these days. This going into the city to go back out thing is just silly.
