Heyo! I'm the RTA. Miss? Mr? Mx? You decide.
This is a blog about the WRTA, the regional transit system for Worcester, Massachusetts, and the surrounding areas. It consists only of busses (and a stop on MBTA and Amtrak train lines), but damn do those busses go!
Expect transitposting, Worcesterposting, and perhaps some Massachusettsblogging at large.
Longest running fare-free transit program in the entire nation, bitch.
If the MBTA were truly woke it would have a rainbow line that goes to Northampton and Provincetown and the trains would be trainsgender.
Yeah a worcester line college connector and a tip of the cape extension of the flyer would both be fantastic
There already kind of IS a worcester line college connector. Our friends at the PVTA run the B79, which is a shuttle bus expressly meant to connect UMass Amherst students to Boston via the Worcester line, stopping at union station at intervals that coincide with certain runs of that train.
It's not Northampton but it IS in the 5 college area. Which I think counts enough.
another ice trap
Reminder to riders: our bus doors have no checkpoints, no barriers, not even a cost.
Reminder to drivers: if you see an ICE agent at one of OUR bus stops, we've recently instituted an exception to ordinances regarding driving on the sidewalk. Please be sure to check page 72 of the updated handbook.
Please refrain from haunting Union Station. You are scaring the trains and it's making the other cities mad.
The busses are used to it and there will be no restrictions on haunting activities in the Hub.
As an unrelated aside, the patio of Luciano's Cotton Club is technically outside of Union Station.
Thank you for riding the WRTA. Please haunt responsibly.
Boston Massachusetts is such a fun city name to say
That area of Massachusetts has many city names that are fun to say (Allston! Brighton! Brookline! Not you, Somerville! Saugus!).
...and Worcester! :D
Worcester is definitely fun to say, but I didn't include it because I think it's too far away from Boston to be considered part of the "Boston area". Lovely town, though.
I know. I just wanted to be included. :(
