The MassPike is a nightmare that you have to pay for. They recently raised the toll from one dollar to $1.25. The road itself is ugly and slow. There are tunnels which many people do not like. They regularly close lanes for maintenance or construction. There are not enough exits as you leave the city making it useless. The only nice thing about it is that you get a view of the Charles river and a not too bad view of Fenway. The new extension which gets you to the airport is good for traffic but there has been a lot of concern over the safety of the tunnels.
