Why PlanetTran?
Transportation to Logan airport may seem straightforward:  take the T. Often this is inconvenient for many reasons, so you may call a cab or use your company’s car service.  However, PlanetTran provides a unique service with clear advantages to existing transportation options:

·          PlanetTran’s mission is to provide everyday public automobile transportation services using the cleanest, most advanced technology practically available.  PlanetTran is the first public auto service in the Nation to utilize hybrid/gas electric vehicles in a public automobile fleet.

·          PlanetTran is competitively priced with taxis for the frequent traveler, and cheaper than other scheduled “limo” services.

·          PlanetTran works to influence regulatory agencies such as Massport, Masspike, and local city governments to create incentives for Alternative Fuel Vehicles in public auto services. 

·          Regardless of favorable environmental impact, PlanetTran is first and foremost a service company.  As such, PlanetTran is committed to on-time, reliable transportation to and from Logan, in clean, comfortable, 2004 Toyota Prius, with knowledgeable, friendly drivers who believe in the PlanetTran vision.
