Logan Express Service From Peabody Returns From New Location

PEABODY, MA — The Logan Express is coming back to the North Shore after nearly a two-year absence.

Airport bus service from the Peabody terminal on Route 1 South was suspended in the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic because of low ridership. Nearly 23 months later, service will resume Sunday with the Northshore Mall as its new terminal location.

"We thank Massport for providing this important transportation option for the residents of Peabody and our neighboring communities," Peabody Mayor Ted Bettencourt said. "The new location is centrally located, conveniently right off the highway, with great access to local shops and restaurants."

The new location at 91 Essex Center Drive will have an hourly bus service from Peabody each day from 3:15 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. Service will leave from Logan Airport each day hourly beginning at 4:15 a.m. through 1:15 a.m.

"A strong regional HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) connection to Logan Airport from the North Shore is important," State Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) said. "This is a great option for both travelers and employees that work at the airport. I am thankful for the hard work and partnership that made this possible, and that our constituents' voices were heard."

The Logan Express will return to the region with discount tickets through June with advanced tickets purchased electronically here $9 each way.

“My colleagues and I in the state government have made good, quality transit options a priority," said State Rep. Thomas P. Walsh (D-Peabody). "This new location for Peabody Logan Express is a result of collaboration with Massport, the city of Peabody, and commitment to our constituents."
