CVPR15 and its co-located tutorials and workshops will be held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston,
Massachusetts on June 7-12th.
Convention Center Floor Plan Map
Boston has a comprehensive public transportation system known as the
MBTA or the "T," with bus lines, trolleys, and subway trains running
throughout the city. Our best advice is to purchase a
Charlie
Card. Charlie Cards are free and may be obtained
at ticket windows, for example at South Station and Kenmore Station,
until 7 pm, seven days a week. There are also Charlie Tickets,
available by machines, but passengers pay a small surcharge. Charlie
Cards and Charlie Tickets may have money added to their balance as
needed. You can use the MBTA's
Trip Planner or Google Maps transit directions
to find your way.
The MBTA has up-to-date advice posted
for travelers from Logan Airport. Another option for travel from the
airport is to take Back Bay Logan Express ($5, run by Massport) to
either Copley or Hynes Auditorium stations.
