it's 1:38 pm, off peak. Mr Google shows from Terminal C to the Coolidge Corner Theatre 27min for 9.6miles by car, 56min by public transit. So ~20MPH by car and ~10MPH average by bus/trolley. Pretty pathetic. At rush hour public transportation should be faster than automobile! Your trip, 1.5 hours / ~9.6 miles = 6.4MPH! What is the breakdown for each segment? Massport could and should implement bus lanes and a people mover to the subway station.
The hard numbers make me shake my head even harder.
I got very lucky and had minimal waiting(<5min) getting the shuttle to Airport, which took about 10 minutes to go B->Airport, but had to wait ~10 min for the blue line once I got there. Then another 10 min to Govt Center on the blue line, then right on the C(just managed to get on before the doors closed!) and 45 min to go Govt Center to Coolidge Corner. Of note, it's a 10 min walk with baggage to my home from Coolidge Corner, so total 1 hour 25 min if we're talking terminal door to home door.
