TD Garden Group Transportation for Celtics, Bruins & Concerts
TD Garden sits above North Station, and on game and concert nights the streets around it fill fast. A private bus or van drops your group close to the arena, lays over legally while you're inside, and picks everyone up at a set spot after the final buzzer or encore.

How a TD Garden group trip works
- Drop-off near the arena. Boston lets charter buses load only at designated tour bus stops, so the driver drops your group as close as the rules allow and you walk the last block.
- Expect traffic on Causeway Street. The blocks in front of the arena get packed before and after events. Since May 2025, the city moved evening rideshare pickups and drop-offs to Merrimac Street (7 pm–2 am).
- The bus lays over while you're inside. Boston limits idling to 5 minutes, so buses park at a layover area such as the Boston Autoport during the event and return for pickup.
- Pick a meeting spot and a time. Agree on a pickup point a short walk from the arena and a time after the event. Your driver confirms it on the day.
- Make it a night. Add a pre-game dinner in the North End or the West End to the plan.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bus to a Celtics or Bruins game cost?
For about 5 hours, a Sprinter for up to 14 typically runs about $720–$1,030 including gratuity. A 55-passenger motor coach runs about $1,100–$2,070, or roughly $20–$40 per person with a full coach.
Where do charter buses drop off at TD Garden?
Buses use Boston's designated tour bus stops near the arena. Your driver picks the closest legal spot for that night and confirms it with your group.
Where does the bus wait during the game?
Buses can't idle for long downtown, so they usually lay over at a bus parking area like the Boston Autoport and come back for pickup.
Can you pick us up right after the show?
Yes. Set a time and a meeting spot a short walk from the arena, away from the Causeway Street crowds.
