5' cut-off for boarding and the shuttle (95% of the time) using the gates on the building on the concourse side vs. the gates further out at BOS make a big difference. Plus shuttles tend to have more standardized times of departure (e.g., on the hour). Lastly I think corporate fares are structured differently too, I know my company gets us heavily discounted Y tickets for the BOS-LGA shuttle vs. "normal" refundable fares for other flights.
