Late at night

On weekdays, the last trip that works leaves Harvard at 12:52 am and gets to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital around 1:37 am, using bus 109 and bus 93. On Friday nights it runs later: the last trip leaves at 1:07 am. On Saturday nights the last trip leaves at 1:07 am, and on Sunday nights at 11:47 pm. Late at night, ask Cobblehop for the last trip. It checks live times and tells you when to leave.

Tips for this trip

• Know your stop. Get to the door after First Ave @ Ninth St. The next stop is Thirteenth St @ Fifth Ave. Start a live trip in Cobblehop and it alerts you before your stop.
• Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital is in the Charlestown Navy Yard.
