The official PVTA thread


DS4Ever

Recommended Posts

Hey there i opened this new thread in which the theme solely concentrate in the Pioneer Valley Transportation Authority (PVTA) which covers Metropolitan Springfield, MA (the second biggest transit agency of Massachusetts after powerhouse MBTA of Boston)

 

This transit authority serve Springfield as well as satellite cities like Westfield, Holyoke, Chicopee, West Springfield, Northampton, Amherst, Agawan, Deerfield, Longmeadow and Enfield, CT (only the border area terminate in Mass Mutual)

 

The Peter pan bus terminal in the Metro Center area of Springfield serves as the primary hub of PVTA routes. ..other hubs include the Holyoke transportation centre and the UMASS campus in Amherst

 

Accessing this bus agency is quite easy as one route (G5) ends in Enfield connecting (with no transfer option a new fare is paid) CT Transit rush hours only

 

Make yourselves at home and comment anything that has to do with PVTA

In thepast PVTA used the recognize MTA (New York City not to be confused with the MTA of Maryland and Los Angeles LACMTA) colour scheme. ..but i'm in accord with railbus63 might've been copyright of GMC as the first RTS were shipped to NYCTA (Today's MTA) and thus had the colour scheme defaulted on all its RTS also the Flxibles had its colour scheme painted at that style (to note the flxibles we're the debuting bus to debut the very known colour scheme of powerhouse MTA)

 

PVTA was a baby company at the time so it didn't had an official colour scheme. ..is when time flies by it introduces a new colour scheme and logo of PVTA at block styles. ..and the recent modification of today's PVTA logo and colour scheme than is noted to be one of the most prettiest colour schemes in Massachusetts and possibly New England tied up with the RIPTA colour scheme of Rhode Island Powerhouse

 

PVTA has to note the second highest ridership in Massachusetts (after bigger giant MBTA) and has a higher demands of ridership on the Springfield- Holyoke/ Chicopee corridor

 

Despite one of its routes to connect (NO TRANSFER) To a CT Transit bus (CT-H 905 At Mass Mutual) the PVTA G5 doesn't run very frequently and its last bus leaving Springfield towards the border is at 5:15pm and leaves Enfield at 6:15pm (right after the CT-H 905 last run departs Mass Mutual)
