Staying in Newport, Driving to Boston, Subway better?

I am staying in Newport and want to go into Boston but don%26#39;t want to fight traffic. Could anyone suggest a place to park and take the subway instead? Thanks!

You could drive from Newport to Providence and take the commuter rail in to the Boston. Check www.mbta.com for information on the Providence line of the commuter rail and maps of the various T lines that will take your around the city.

You could also drive up Rt. 24 up to the Train Station on 128 (Canton) and take the train in.....more options than in/out of Providence too.....




Also, there are buses that leave from the Visitors Center. www.peterpanbus.com




If you can get a Peter Pan bus, that would be ideal....




You can also drive to Quincy, MA and take the red line subway into Boston. The subway lines run much more frequently than the commuter train and it is significatnly cheaper. You can take Rt. 95 N to 93 N and follow the signs for the Quincy T parking garage. It will probably take you about an hour from Newport and then it%26#39;s about a 40 minute train ride into Boston.
