The silver line works, but it's already crowded as is and still gets stuck in traffic near the airport.

Haven't tried the Blue Line, though.

Blue line works well enough to the airport shuttle. Shuttle takes 10 minutes even on closure days.

They’re increasing the frequency of departures for the Blue and making it free for the summer. Hopefully people will take advantage of it.

Our typical flight times always seems to fall outside of useful operating hours for the T, which really sucks because we'd jump at the chance to not have to drive. And it's not sufficient to have just departure or arrival fit within the T's schedule, it needs to work for both. I can't very well leave my car at economy parking so I can take the bendy bus home.

I’m picturing a jet ski ferry business popping up.

Ugh I've got an upcoming trip and I'm stressing about it ahead

My sister and BIL are flying in with two kids the week after July 4. This was a hell of a bomb to get dropped on us long after they'd already booked their tickets

One of the other suggestions is to take Logan Express, after returning from abroad and a horrible passport check process. Took me 3 hours to get home. I guess because it would take 8 hours to walk, that’s a good deal.
