What your guests get
- One clear plan instead of a list of options: what to board, when it leaves, how many stops and where to get off.
- Your place as the starting point. The link fills it in, so guests only type where they're going: "Salem Witch Museum", "Logan Airport", "the last train to Boston".
- Live times for MBTA trains, subway, buses and ferries, and the published schedules for the regional buses, Amtrak and the island ferries.
- A buzz before their stop, so they don't miss it.
- Their own language. Cobblehop works in 16 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew.
- Accessibility options: step-free routes, read-aloud plans, stronger alerts and extra time for transfers.
- Nothing to install. It opens in the phone's browser.
Where to put it
- In your Airbnb house guide, welcome book or check-in message (copy the text above).
- On the front desk, by the concierge, or in each room (print the card).
- By the front door or on the fridge, where guests look before heading out.
- In your confirmation email, next to the parking and Wi-Fi details.
How it works
- Type your address or business name above. Check the place it found and the name your guests will see.
- Copy the link, download the QR code or print the card.
- Your guests scan or tap it, type where they're going and get one plan that starts at your place, with live times. Want to see what they'll get? See how Cobblehop works.
Questions hosts ask
Does the guest link cost anything?
No. The link, the QR code and the printable card are free, and you don't need an account to make them. Guests can start right away, with no sign-up and no app to install.
Where does it work?
Across Massachusetts: MBTA subway, Commuter Rail, buses and ferries, the regional bus systems, Amtrak and the island ferries, plus nearby trips into Rhode Island and southern New Hampshire.
Do guests have to share their location?
No. Your link sets the starting point, so the first plan starts at your place. Guests can still say "from Back Bay instead" or use their own location.
Can I change the name guests see?
Yes. Edit "The name your guests see" and tap Update. The link, QR code and card change with it. Your link holds the place's map position (to about 10 meters) and that name, nothing else.
Is Cobblehop the official MBTA app?
No. Cobblehop is an independent app. It uses public data from MassDOT/MBTA and other transit agencies. See About Cobblehop.
