Plan a P&B Bus Trip From Cape Cod or the South Shore to Boston and Logan Airport
Plymouth & Brockton operates two main daily passenger corridors linking Cape Cod and the South Shore with Boston South Station and Logan International Airport. Both current schedules took effect July 19, 2026.
This guide separates normal South Shore service from Logan Direct trips, explains the Woods Hole request-stop pattern, shows current terminal pickup locations, South Station gates, parking, ticket rules, baggage limits, airport timing and wheelchair guidance before you travel.
Which Plymouth & Brockton Schedule Do You Need?
Hyannis / South Shore → Boston / Logan
This is the main P&B corridor for Hyannis, Barnstable, Sagamore, Plymouth and Rockland travelers going to South Station or Logan Airport.
Most trips serve the South Shore stops. Selected Logan Direct trips run from Hyannis/Barnstable/Sagamore straight to Logan and bypass Plymouth, Rockland and South Station.
Woods Hole / Falmouth → Boston / Logan
This corridor serves Woods Hole, Falmouth, Sagamore, South Station and Logan Airport and is useful for Cape travelers connecting with the Steamship Authority.
Northbound Sagamore is a request stop on the current Woods Hole trips. Tell the driver if you need Sagamore or the bus can bypass the stop.
