Changes to Bus Routes 441/442/448/449

Effective September 1, 2019

How This Route is Changing

Routes 448 and 449 are being eliminated, and will be replaced by additional service on Routes 441 and 442. The 441 and 442 stop at most 448 and 449 stops, and provide service to Wonderland for connections to Boston.

Routes 441 and 442 charge a Local Bus fare of ($1.70), so Monthly Local Bus passes and monthly LinkPasses are valid for fare payment.
