How does an e-ticket work for a bus leaving Boston?
I bought e-tickets for my trip leaving from Boston. Can I go directly to the bus and show it to the driver or do I have to check in first at the ticket counter?
Best Answer
If you have a printed e-ticket (or a QR code on your phone, or an old school paper folding ticket) for a bus leaving Boston South Station, you can skip the ticket counters and go directly to the departure gate. Turn right off the escalators and go through the middle passage between the ticket counters, for most gates. Note that multiple bus companies share the ticket counters and gates at South Station, so check the boards for your specific bus company, destination and departure time.
If you haven't got a printout of your ticket, the ticket counter (or Greyhound kiosk, for Greyhound buses) can print one out for you. Your bus company might charge for this.
