Here's more confusion and questions for poor Julie-who by now no doubt regrets she even brought up the issue, lol.

It appears neither the 3-day pass at $18, nor the Sunday to SAturday pass at $16.50 covers Sunday, August 8. So why would I not get the $16.50 one even if I am coming in on Thursday? (it would seem both would cover Thursday, Friday, SAturday and none covers Sunday).

  I think I understand.  Except one thing.... why is a 7-day visitor pass $35, 
  and a one-week combo pass equal $16.50.

  The MBTA combo pass covers the bus and service (and water taxi) for Boston.

  The combo pass (good from Sunday to Saturday) will cover August 4th to 
  August 7th (Saturday).  It will cover the bus and subway for unlimited rides 
  those days, right?

  This combo pass is good for the trip to Salem and back?

  Cannot be used on Sunday (it will have expired) for the trip from the hotel 
  to the airport, we will have to get a one-way subway token?  However, we 
  could use it from the airport to the hotel on the Wednesday we arrive but we 
  will have to buy this pass at the airport?  If we buy it at the airport, 
  will we have to pay $16.50 or is that YOUR cost?

  thanks so much for your help thus far, you are a lifesaver!!

  po
