DS4Ever Posted November 13, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2016 The Boswash corridor is the largest populated continuous agglomeration in the United States with approximately 60 million people...the corridor extends from Boston all the way to Washington DC in a total trajectory. Length of 790 km or a travel time of 10 hours by bus (that is transferring in NYC to continue your trip to Boston or Washington DC accounting where you've commence your trip) Now the qquestion here is what if you rather travel from Boston to Washington DC by way of local transit. Agencies . If travelling from Boston To Washington DC then your trip would last 3 days ...here's your hypothetica . Trip as follow - MBTA 39 from Back Bay to Forest Hills (solicitate transfer) - MBTA 32 from Forest Hills to Ashmont Station (total $1.75) - Brockton Area Transit #12 from Ashmont to Brockton (transfer solicit. For the BAT #14 ) - Brockton Area Transit #14 to Cobbs Corner in Canton,MA Now here is where there is a slightly huge gap...BAT #14 terminates At cobbs corner rather a 10 minute drive to Sharon MBTA rail station and thus a 10 more minute to nearby Mansfield MBTA rail...why i say to Mansfield, is qquite simple the GATRA (Greater Attleboro Taunton Regional Agency) goes as far nnorth as Mansfield to benefit students to a UMASS campus in Norton. ..but is there where a transfer is available to go-to Attleboro and thus a connection of a Last GATRA bus to Pawtucket, RI and connect to Ripta #1 or 35...if BAT readjust the rout . 14 to Mansfield then the adventure connectivity would follow as such: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4Ever Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted November 13, 2016 At Patapsco there are 2 ways to enter DC...first option and more faster but slightly costly is as follow: MTA- MD #14 (longest MTA bus of the company) to Annapolis MTA-MD #230 (commuter bus) to US Capitol Mall (final Destination) OR -MTA- MD #17 to Arundel Mills Mall via BWI Airport - RTA #502 to Laurel, MD (solicitate transfer for $1 by using either a Charmcard or Smartrip) -RTA #302 to Greenbelt Metro station - Metro Green Line subway to Washington DC and points suburbans including as far as Franconia-Springfield just south of Arlington,Virginia - in conclusion one may use its transfer accounted in its charmcard or smartrip to transfer freely to Arlington Transit OR Fairfax Connector in neighbouring Virginia In Washington Metropolitan Area is the finale of this very long journey since to head to Richmond (160 km away) is only reachable by Amtrak or any coach buses departing from Union Station in the nation's capital ...so conclusion there are two huge gap between Washington and Richmond and thusly from Richmond to the Hampton Roads where the reality of this very huge agglomeration terminates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted November 13, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2016 I'll stick with through travelling on the Megabus and Bolt Bus The closest I've done to something like this is take the Megabus from Boston to New Haven then take Metro-North from there to the city. On Fridays and Sundays this way's actually faster than taking the bus the whole way (you usually hit traffic west of I-91 no matter which way you go), as long as you can overlook the fact there's only 1 or 2 buses a day between BOS and NHV.

DS4Ever Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted November 13, 2016 Yeah for the most part virtually onewould take the mega or bolt buses since is faster and via credit cards quite cheap but this scenario is based if for some reason there weren't interstate coach buses and forsome reason the means of travelling is by way of local transit agencies If one desire to take metro north to new York then the part 1 of this journey comes to effect remember there's only 3 frequency of the RIPTA flex 204 which quites obstructs the journey. ..to much new haven is considered a checkpoint between Boston and new York. ..travel time between Boston and New haven w/o traffic is 2 hours via I-90 and I-84 andfrom NH to NYC varies between 1.5 hours and up to 3 hours withthe heaviest congestion. ..i can assure that when last april i took the 1030pm bus from south station to New York and it reached New Haven at 1245pm...around 1:30 thr bus took a 10 minute break at Stamford petrol station close to the WWE Headquarters so hence between Stamford and New York Downtown is a minimum 45 minute drive as i aarrive 230am If making the journey locally them one's pay up to New Haven about $16.75 (again this would account if BAT closes that gap between Canton and Mansfield) but again long journeys all depends on bigger buses...i for one never boarded those bargain buses as the tickets are via iinternet and not by cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
