Franklin Park is situated between the Orange Line, Fairmount Line, Red Line, and a host of local bus routes on the border of Roxbury, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain. What’s the fastest public transit route from South Station? Miles, Jordan, Nathan, Jarek, Jules, and more than 20 others split up onto 11 teams to find out, but not without their fair share of challenges and drama along the way.
If you’re interested in the RTS seen in this video, check out the East Coast Coalition of Bus Preservationists! They preserve a diverse fleet of buses from around the country in the Boston area. Find them on their website at http://www.eccobus.org/ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/EccoBus
We’d like to give a huge thank you to all of the participants! Cliche as it might sound, we truly couldn’t have done it without you. Below is a full list of racers along with where you can find them outside of this video:
