So contact your legislators to support the Green Line extension through Somerville and out to Medford (and maybe beyond), one more potential option to get into town (and one which was supposed to be FINISHED by 2011 when first proposed).

To update on the original question I had, I've asked two employees at the Station Landing garage. Overnight parking is permitted in both sections (the regular section, and the upper MBTA levels). I specifically asked about the rate for multi-day parking on the T levels, and was told it's just $5 per day.

I'll report back on what the actual experience is next week if I end up taking the trip (trip might be off at this point).

Wow, that's excellent if that's the case! I'd much prefer leaving my car overnight in the garage instead of the open air parking lot on the east side. Please do keep us posted!

Happy to report, post-trip, that the Station Landing garage at Wellington is in fact just $5 per day if you park in the MBTA levels (6-8). I was almost surprised when the cashier only asked for $25 when I got back.

There was also another car that I recognized as having been there since early last week (over a week at this point). I have no idea if there is any limit to how long you can park.

Only thing to remember if parking for a long stay - it's cash only. Be sure to bring money as there is only a no-name ATM there if you arrive w/o the cash to bail your car out.

Another question – from Wellington, what's the best way to get to Logan?
Orange -> Red -> SL1
Or
Orange -> Blue -> Logan shuttle

I'd go Orange to Blue myself, but I'm a traditionalist

I would too. The less time on buses, the better, especially given the convoluted route the Silver Line takes around South Boston.

Blue Line & Shuttle, definitely. If going to C or E, you also save trip time much of the day versus the Silver Line starting at A and working around.

Really the only annoyance now with the Massport shuttles is the excessive wait time inbound to the terminals at the rental car facility. At least when departing the terminals the buses go straight to drop off at the Blue Line.

For the State St connection, going to the Blue Line en route to the airport, sitting at the rear of the southbound Orange Line train will cut down on the long transfer walk. Going the other way (back to Wellington) fortunately the connecting passage is much shorter!
