How does the Boston Stadium Express bus service work?

The Boston Stadium Express bus service will operate from pickup points across Greater Boston and the surrounding region, as well as Rhode Island, providing service to Gillette Stadium, according to Boston 26.

Pickup and drop-off locations include the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Boston Logan International Airport, and multiple hotels across Eastern Massachusetts.

"Route design for Boston Stadium Express is driven by AI-powered demand forecasting of fan booking trends, as well as capacity management, ensuring routes are designed to maximize capacity and minimize roadway congestion," Michael Costa, of Yankee Line, said in a statement.

Service from each pickup location will begin three hours ahead of kickoff, with return service from Gillette Stadium starting 30 minutes after the final whistle, the host committee said.

Spectators must reserve tickets online in advance and provide proof of a valid same-day World Cup match ticket upon boarding, Boston 26 said. Riders are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes before their scheduled departure time.
