I think I have some sort of psychological inability to just take the train to or from Lowell. I mean, after this day on the LRTA, I could’ve just grabbed the Commuter Rail home, but no – I wanted to take the 15 to its terminus just over the Littleton border and walk to the town’s station on the Fitchburg Line. So be it!

Boarding at the Kennedy Center.

As usual, we headed down Thorndike Street from the Kennedy Center, but we were going south this time. We went under the Lowell Connector highway and over River Meadow Brook, where the road became Gorham Street. The scenery was a mix of industrial buildings and businesses, with a few apartments after we went under the Commuter Rail tracks.

Hoo boy, it’ll be one of these reviews…

A huge cemetery occupied one side of the road for a while, while the other side had two schools, some businesses, and some houses. We merged onto Carlisle Street, continuing alongside the cemetery before going over I-495, entering Chelmsford. It was residential on the other side, the houses broken only by a park and a water tower.

Going over the highway.

We turned onto Brick Kiln Road next, a street shared with the 14 that had houses in between stretches of forest. All of a sudden, we were passing office parks, mixed in awkwardly with houses and more forest. We broke away from the 14 by turning onto Billerica Road, taking us over Route 3 and past a ton more offices.

One of those offices…I presume.

Boy oh boy, those office buildings went on for a while, but eventually we entered another residential area. It was brief this time, because shortly after going by Chelmsford Town Hall and Fire Station, we entered Chelmsford Center. We were previously here on the 16, and like before, it was pretty underwhelming.

Well, these lights are nice, though!

We merged onto Littleton Road and quickly left the center – this street was lined with houses, but it got more woodsy the further we went. It started to get weird, though, with a lot of apartment developments down long driveways, and eventually a slew of office and industrial buildings. A sizeable stretch of forest took us into Westford, where the scenery was similar to before.

No idea what this is.

We went by the Nashoba Valley Technical High School, then it was time for a deviation to…a Hampton Inn? Yeah, we went down Technology Park Drive to serve, according to the timepoint, a hotel. I’ve been on weird deviations before, but come on, a hotel??? When we came back onto Littleton Street, there were a few shopping plazas on either side of the road.

A red light! A picture that came out! Hooray!

Of all the shopping plazas to deviate into, the LRTA chose Cornerstone Square, probably because it has a Market Basket in it. We looped around in there and came back onto Littleton Road, which was a never-ending barrage of office parks and suburban businesses by this point. There was a brief break for a marsh, then we passed Kimball Farm, a popular attraction even as far away as Cambridge – it’s kind of awesome that it gets bus service, as limited as it is.

I think this is Kimball Farm?

The route was almost over. There were a few more industrial buildings and businesses before the road became King Street and we entered Littleton. Almost right after that, we entered the huge facility for IBM, whose parking lots outnumbered the buildings themselves. Alright, time to walk to the Commuter Rail! Luckily, it was uneventful, but I did get Medway Street flashbacks…

It’s a weird place to end a bus, especially on a Saturday!

LRTA Route: 15 (Chelmsford/Westford via Route 129/110)

Ridership: It’s not much of a surprise that the 15 gets low ridership. On weekdays, it gets 156 riders, while on Saturdays, it only gets 40 – less than 3 people per trip! My Saturday ride on the last trip of the night (5:30) was actually just me.

Pros: I can see the 15 having a lot of reverse commute potential, particularly with the gigantic IBM facility. It runs less frequently than other LRTA routes, but I think it’s sensible for the ridership – it has 90 minute headways.

Cons: I don’t think this has to run on Saturdays, does it? Come on, it costs the LRTA $22.92 per passenger to run it on Saturdays! That’s insane! Honestly, I could see this thing being rush hour only, but maybe more people use it on weekdays than I realize…

Nearby and Noteworthy: Kimball Farm is the most obvious place – I wonder if they could advertise their proximity to public transit? Also, the IBM terminus is close to Littleton Common, which has a few pleasant businesses, including a bookstore and a theater.

Final Verdict: 4/10
Man, I dunno…the 15 isn’t really doing it for me. It clearly has its place, but it seems to run more than it has to. Are people really going out to IBM on a Saturday? Or coming back from it into Lowell at 8 PM on weeknights? It’s a long route, too, so the LRTA is spending a lot of money to shuttle mostly empty buses around. Like I said, it serves a purpose, but it could probably be cut back.

Darn it, I chose the wrong route to take! I could’ve done a 5 out to Drum Hill and back and been able to get a second local route in there, but instead I grabbed a 2 – this meant I could only do one route. Oh well…at least I got to meet an incredibly nice bus driver!

What a stout little vehicle!

Like every other LRTA route, we began our journey by heading up Thorndike Street. We soon turned onto Appleton Street, a mix of industrial buildings, apartments, and a few businesses. There were some brick buildings along here as it became Church Street, but we more or less bypassed the vibrant retail of downtown Lowell.

Industrial wasteland.

We crossed the Concord River and turned onto High Street after a few blocks on the other side. This road was mostly residential, with dense apartments lining the road, but there was retail along here as well. It turned out this was all just a deviation to the Lowell General Hospital, though, and we had to loop around and come back.

Some of the hospital buildings.

We actually stayed on High Street past our original point of deviation, and it continued to be mostly residential going south. The “apartments” turned into more “house-like” structures the further we went, and they were interrupted by a nice park when we turned onto Rogers Street. Once that ended, it was houses for about fifteen seconds before another park! By this point, the 12 had joined our route.

The second park.

Once this second park ended, Rogers Street became lined mostly with a bunch of random suburban businesses. One of them, a Hannaford supermarket, was deemed deviation-worthy, so we pulled into its parking lot. After that, we returned to Rogers Street, then we turned onto Clark Road for…another deviation. Okay, at least this one was for an actual mall (Stadium Plaza) rather than a single supermarket.

There were a few offices along Clark Road.

We went back down Rogers Street a ways before turning onto Douglas Road. It was mostly houses, although it also took us past a few athletic facilities. We eventually turned onto Hovey Street near an elementary school and a middle school, but they were hidden behind a row of homes. Ascending a hill, we then turned onto Wentworth Ave, where the residences continued.

It was basically this the whole time.

We turned onto Andover Street next, and surprise surprise, it was more houses! Our layover point, however, was indeed a business: White Dove Pantry, a convenience store. We pulled into its parking lot and layed over in a deserted part of it. I had a great conversation with the driver here, and we would keep talking for the whole ride back to Lowell.

Just a little further to go!

The route wasn’t quite over, though, as there’s a significant section on the inbound route (if you can call it that – I think of it as more of a “forked terminus”). Immediately after leaving the White Dove Pantry, we turned onto the all-residential Burnham Road, running through a pleasant neighborhood. Next, we turned onto River Road (which paralleled the Merrimack River), looped around via a few side streets, and it was back to Lowell the way we had come!

The bus in the White Dove Pantry parking lot.

LRTA Route: 2 (Belvidere)

Ridership: This thing gets great weekday ridership, averaging 438 passengers per day. Saturdays are definitely a step down, averaging only 117 riders, but that’s a combination of less frequency and less overall ridership on Saturdays.

Pros: This is the only LRTA local route that serves the eastern side of Lowell, so clearly its services are needed. It has an awesome schedule on weekdays, with a bus every half hour, but the hourly schedule on Saturdays isn’t bad either.

Cons: The 2’s route is definitely twisty and all over the place, a side effect of it being the only route to serve the Belvidere area. I don’t think there’s any easy way to fix it unless the route is split in two, but that would cause frequency to go down on each one.

Nearby and Noteworthy: It’s a mostly residential route. I guess the biggest attraction is Stadium Plaza, but that is a very boring-looking mall.

Final Verdict: 7/10
It’s weird, I don’t mind the 2’s twists and turns as much as I did with the 16 and 17. For one thing, the 2’s ridership is much higher than on those routes, plus it’s a “local” route, so you don’t have to pay a premium “suburban” fare just to sit through tons of twists and turns. The 2 is double the frequency on weekdays, too – that’s a big plus. So…yeah, I guess this is an example of a snaky route done right? If it could be split into two with the same frequency on each, that would make the situation even better, of course.

“I have a transfer,” I told the driver as I boarded the bus. The woman gave a cursory glance at my slip. “You shoulda gotten a shuttle transfah,” she said in a grumpy voice. Okay, sorry I didn’t realize that the LRTA has three types of transfers! Transferring to the Downtown Shuttle is the only free one on the LRTA, though, so maybe I should’ve known that instead of wasting 25 cents on a useless slip.

My shadow’s in there! How unprofessional!

We made our way onto Thorndike Street, passing some pretty decrepit areas until we went over the Pawtucket Canal. The road became Dutton Street on the other side, and we were running alongside another canal, the Lowell Streetcar track, and some office buildings in old factories. As we go closer to downtown, more attractions showed up, including some businesses, the National Streetcar Museum, and, as we merged onto Arcand Drive, Lowell City Hall.

Going over the Pawtucket Canal.

It’s busy!

Lowell’s canals are so awesome!

Oh yes, a truly riveting photo of the new construction.

Another long deviation-filled route going from Drum Hill Plaza to Lowell? The 16 isn’t quite as crazy as the 17, but honestly, I think it might even be worse. Let’s find out why!

The bus coming into Drum Hill Plaza.

We left Drum Hill Plaza and made our way around onto Parkhurst Road. This led us around the back of the mall past some offices and an apartment development. We went under Route 3, then we made a sharp turn onto the windy residential Smith Street.

Yeah, I meant a sharp turn.

The road twisted past mostly houses, aside from a brief marshland break. The dwellings continued as we turned onto Stedman Street, as well as when we headed down Dalton Road. We eventually turned onto North Street, which took us over I-495.

This is pleasant!

It was much different on the other side, with some offices and a church along the road. Once we turned onto Fletcher Street, it got really ugly, with some really huge parking lots around more random office buildings. We made some quick turns on Chelmsford Street, Wilson Street, Billerica Road, Summer Street, and Chelmsford Street again, passing through really brief neighborhood changes.

Coming onto Chelmsford Street (for the first time).

Our second stint on Chelmsford Street led us past the Chelmsford Town Center shopping plaza and then the town center itself, which was very underwhelming. We left the center, and Chelmsford Street became a mess of suburban businesses with parking lots, but they went away soon after we went under I-495. In their place were houses on one side and offices on the other.

I was on the “houses” side.

Although we only deviated into the Chelmsford Mall (or Kohl’s Plaza, as LRTA calls it), there were plenty more shopping plazas to see, both before and after we went under Route 3. We went by a huge office tower called Crosspoint, and then we entered a dense residential area. Next, we turned onto Plain Street, taking us under the Lowell Connector highway on a deviation to the Meadow Brook Shopping Center. Fun.

A different mall, but they’re all the same anyway.

When we came back to Chelmsford Street, it was suburban businesses for a little while. Occasionally a few houses would try to sneak their way in, but to no avail – it was not a pretty road. And then, all of a sudden, we turned onto Thorndike Street and there we were at the Kennedy Center. That was unexpected!

Okay, this is a cool view, admittedly.

LRTA Route: 16 (Chelmsford via Chelmsford Street)

Ridership: The 16’s ridership is definitely below average, with just 245 riders per weekday and 118 per Saturday. My ride had about five people.

Pros: The section along Chelmsford Street is generally direct, so it serves the stuff along there well. Anything else? Uhh…the hourly schedule on Saturdays is nice…

Cons: I’ll talk about the weird weekday schedule first. The morning peak consists of a bus every 25 minutes, running only along the Chelmsford Street section, but that kind of service isn’t replicated in the evening peak, where service is every 40-50 minutes. Does this route even get peak hour ridership? Also, this thing is every 90 minutes middays, which is really infrequent, especially for LRTA standards. Oh, did I mention the route is a mess?

It’s no 17, but you’ve got a long way to go if you’re going from, say, Smith Street to Lowell.

Nearby and Noteworthy: A ton of suburban shopping plazas, and that’s about it. Have fun!

Final Verdict: 3/10
I would say that the 16’s route is a tiny bit better than the 17’s, if only because a larger section of it is direct. However, the 16 has a way more unnecessarily crazy schedule than the 17, so that’s its downfall back to the domain of a 3/10. They’re both twisty, awful routes, and it’s hard to say which is better or worse! The LRTA proposed replacing their weirdest sections (in the 16’s case, the bit from Chelmsford Town Center to Drum Hill Plaza) with a new suburban crosstown route. I’m not sure how much ridership that would get…

Latest MBTA News: Service Updates

Oh geez, this one is a mess. Here, take a look at the 17‘s map:

Alright, let’s take votes for what this thing looks like! Is it a dragon? Maybe a baby stroller? I feel like I’m looking at a constellation or something. Look, the point is that this thing is insane, and I wanted to ride every inch of it. The driver wasn’t exactly happy with my desires, but we’ll get to that…

An awkward shot of the back of the bus in Lowell.

Those bins are like soldiers defending the driveway!

Blurrily going by one of the shopping plazas.

Suddenly we turned onto Brouilette Street, a narrow residential road that only lasted for a block. Once it ended, we turned onto Princeton Boulevard, which was also residential, but at least it felt like an actual street that could support a bus route. There were a few apartment developments, and then…hey, wait a minute…

This is the other side of that shopping plaza from the last picture!

A block away from where we had originally crossed it, we turned onto Wood Street, which twisted past some more residential developments. Once it became Westford Street, it became lined with a ton of suburban businesses with parking lots, and we entered Chelmsford soon after. We then deviated into Drum Hill Plaza, a mall that also plays host to the 5 and the 16.

Walmaht!

Oh, and some telephone wires, too.

The lake!

The view from our “layover point.”

This is where the bus is supposed to lay over, according to the schedule.

This is pleasant!

There are even gaudy billboards! Nice!

As we came away from the river, the apartment developments, houses, and suburban businesses moved to both sides of the road. We came back to Vinal Square and its weird retail blocks, then Middlesex Street got more residential – there were still some old factories and suburban businesses too, though. We eventually turned onto the tiny Brouilette Street again, but we did a right onto Princeton Street instead of a left like what we had done before.

Vinal Square. Is that a tiny bowling alley??

We passed a bunch of houses, but soon the road got really wide in preparation for the intersection with North Road. We turned onto it, finally giving the route bidirectional service somewhere! From here, it was old news: we went down Technology Drive again, then we turned onto Drum Hill Road and entered Drum Hill Plaza. This is where I finally left the bus, because luckily, it has no loopiness on its way back to Lowell.

A 17 going the other way came in just after my bus left!

LRTA Route: 17 (North Chelmsford via Middlesex Street)

Ridership: The 17 gets pretty meager ridership, with only 302 riders per weekday and 83 per Saturday. It’s just barely over the LRTA’s weekday average of 283 riders (and far below the Saturday one of 140), but I’ll bet if you factored the route’s school trips out of the equation, it would be below average. My Saturday trip, for the record, got five people.

Pros: If they’re willing to sit through 45 minutes of loopy deviations, then I guess residents of North Chelmsford would appreciate this route. I’m sure it gets much better ridership on the Lowell portion, where it’s actually straight and it takes the same route going outbound and inbound. The route’s schedule is typical LRTA, with hourly service on weekdays and Saturdays.

Cons: Look, this route flat-out sucks. I showed you the map. It’s a mess. Sure, it may be the only route to serve North Chelmsford (when the rare 19 isn’t running, anyway), but it does so in such a way that it’s almost completely useless for anyone who wants to actually get anywhere. I don’t think it can be improved without having to add another bus somewhere or eliminating important sections of the route. Oh, also, for all those crazy loops and deviations, you’re spending a 50 cent premium over the normal LRTA fare because this is a “suburban” route. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!

Nearby and Noteworthy: Remember that bowling alley in Vinal Square I was talking about? Apparently it’s awesome.

Final Verdict: 3/10
The 17 is clearly useful for some people, but even a 3 seems to be pushing it. This thing makes no sense! Heck, there are huge swaths of the route that require passengers to wait through the Chelmsford layover to get to! The LRTA wants to split this into two routes, with one going straight down Middlesex Street from Lowell and another acting as a suburban crosstown shuttle from Triangle Store to the Chelmsford Town Center mall. Interesting proposal, but I can’t see the crosstown one getting a lot of people.

I wasn’t about to hang out at the Pheasant Lane Mall waiting for the next 19! No, I decided to take a lovely walk into Massachusetts, across the Merrimack River, and back up to New Hampshire to Ayotte’s Stateline Market, the terminus of the 10. And since this is our last official NH bus review, we must say the classic line once more, with passion: “LIVE FREE OR DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ahem. Sorry about that.

The bus just before the border.

Okay, it technically doesn’t go into New Hampshire, and I’m sure it was a very deliberate decision to put the stop on the barren south side of Ayotte’s parking lot, since it’s in Massachusetts. We soon left the lot and headed down Frost Road, which had the feel of a quant middle-of-nowhere residential neighborhood. That feeling continued as we turned onto Lakeview Ave.

Not a great picture, but this is the kind of atmosphere I’m talking about!

Who cares about the ugly businesses? Here are some more houses!

Coming out of Tyngsboro Road.

“Costello Square.”

The waterfall!

Making the turn onto Pleasant Street.

Going from Greenmont Ave to…Greenmont Ave.

Turning within the plaza.

A wide side street.

Crossing the Merrimack River.

Back up in New Hampshire. That was quite a journey!

A holiday season-only bus route in February? Well, it’s better than a summer-only route in January! Not only does the elusive 19 only run from Black Friday to the beginning of the new year, but it also travels to New Hampshire! I’m very excited to say their state motto later on!!!

This is a rare sight, guys!

We headed up Thorndike Street from the Kennedy Center before quickly turning onto Middlesex Street. This was a mix of industrial buildings and businesses (some closed permanently), but it soon got residential – the road became lined with dense houses and apartments. Once we arrived at the intersection of Middlesex and Pawtucket, there was a burst of industry before it turned over to suburban retail.

Yuck.

There was a long stretch where the road had a little bit of everything alongside it, continuing as we entered Chelmsford. Once we hit Vinal Square, though, it was definitively all businesses…not very interesting businesses, but businesses. We merged onto Tyngsborough Road after that, another mix of houses, retail, and industry, with the added bonus of random patches of forest.

A few train tracks!

The road eventually came up next to the Merrimack River, with a single train track being the only thing separating us from it. The scenery was still all over the place, even as we entered Tyngsborough and our street became Middlesex Road. We arrived at Tyngsborough Center soon, which consisted of a few businesses, a fire station, and the old town hall.

This is about it for Tyngsborough Center.

It was diverse scenery again after that. Keep in mind that I don’t mean nice diverse scenery – it was really ugly! The buildings were ebbing more and more towards suburban businesses, and eventually we reached a shopping plaza to deviate into. It was a very boring plaza…

Yawn!

We crossed Middlesex Road into the Pheasant Lane Mall. This was our last stop, but it was a much more substantial mall than the one we had deviated into before. Now, technically the bus never enters New Hampshire: a portion of the mall’s parking lot is in Massachusetts, and the bus only stays in that bit. But still, the mall itself is all in Nashua, NH, so…LIVE FREE OR DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, it’s a 20 now? Alright, then…

LRTA Route: 19 (SEASONAL: Pheasant Lane Mall via Middlesex Street)

Ridership: There are no online statistics for the 19’s ridership, but I think it’s pretty good. I mean, my ride got 12 people…on the day after Black Friday! Who the heck shops on that day? I’ll bet it was insane the day before.

Pros: The Pheasant Lane Mall is unquestionably the most popular mall in the area, so the connection provided by the 19 is crucial. The trip from the Kennedy Center to the mall is about 35 minutes, so it’s not competitive with driving from a timing perspective (driving takes about half the time), but having a transit connection is still important and the route is well-used. It even offers a connection with the Nashua Transit System!

Cons: Let’s face it, this thing needs to run all year. I’m sure it would get great ridership if it did! Also, even when it does run, the frequency is pretty bad – the bus runs every 80-90 minutes. It would be great if it could run every hour, and if it ran all year, it could interline with another route to achieve that frequency.

Nearby and Noteworthy: There really isn’t much along the way until you get to the Pheasant Lane Mall – that is the one and only draw to the 19, as far as I’m concerned.

Final Verdict: 6/10
This route is important, and I’m glad that it runs in the first place. That being said, it would be way better if it could operate during the rest of the year, too! Perhaps there’s a conflict with the State of New Hampshire regarding service areas that prevents the route from running outside the holiday season, although the thing never actually enters NH, so I don’t see the problem. Of course, I’m no expert in this topic, so take my complaints with a grain of salt. It would still be great if this was a full-year service, though.

Latest MBTA News: Service Updates

Hey, the LRTA is a thing! Yeah, I’ve made the least progress with LRTA, so it’s time to change that. Here’s the suburban 12 route from Wilmington to Lowell!

Good to be on this system again!

We headed out from the Wilmington Commuter Rail station onto Main Street, going through what I presume to be is downtown Wilmington. If so, all it consisted of was suburban businesses with parking lots and strange industrial buildings with parking lots. The road eventually opened up for two shopping plazas, one on each side…with parking lots.

One of the plazas.

It got residential soon after that, though we still got some random retail buildings mixed in there. We also passed Silver Lake, offering a great view, but then it was more of the same until a brief section of woods. It went back to being ugly suburban businesses after the forest, where we entered the town of Tewksbury.

The lake.

Hey, here’s a nice part where we go over the Shawsheen River! Okay, back to gross businesses again. Oh, and the Tewksbury Country Club with its golf course that somehow managed to squeeze between them. We turned onto Livingston Street at the Country Club, running past some athletic facilities and apartment developments.

A patch of nothingness between the fields and the apartments.

We suddenly turned onto a rather shoddy road, taking us up to the Tewksbury State Hospital. After looping around the campus, we headed down to East Street, going by some houses and a cemetery. This led us to Tewksbury Center, or rather, a hodgepodge of municipal buildings loosely clustered around a common. It wasn’t much.

Well, the common is nice, I will say.

What came after we merged back with Main Street? More suburban businesses? Sigh…well, okay. There was at least a break for some pylons and a few houses mixed in, but eventually Main Street started to get quite wide. This led us into…a Walmart deviation. Boy oh boy, it doesn’t get better than this.

Not Walmart, but still ech.

We passed more suburban businesses back on Main Street before going under I-495. After that, it was time for another deviation, this one into Stadium Plaza. We entered Lowell from there, and the street became Rogers Street. It still had the same ol’ ugly scenery, though…

Hey, something different!

Okay, eventually things started to change. The businesses were getting less prominent, replaced by dense urban houses. After passing a park, the transformation was complete and we were now in a residential area. Rogers Street curved around past another park, then we turned onto High Street, which was lined with more dense homes.

The sun is in my eyes!

We soon turned onto Andover Street, which took us over the Concord River. We were in downtown Lowell on the other side, although at this point it was just a lot of boring buildings. Once we merged onto Green Street and it became Middlesex Street, we were now in the thick of things, with…boring buildings, but taller. Well, admittedly, the route doesn’t really go into true downtown Lowell. Finally, we turned onto Thorndike Street, taking us down to the Kennedy Center.

I don’t have anything at the Kennedy Center, so here’s another one at Wilmington. “Happy holidays”!

LRTA Route: 12 (Tewksbury via Route 38/Wilmington Train Station)

Ridership: The 12 got fairly average ridership in 2015, with 274 riders per weekday and 152 per Saturday. The weekday total was slightly below the LRTA average, the Saturday total was slightly above it. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised with how many people rode my bus on a Saturday morning: there were 10 going into Lowell. Sure, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a good amount for one of the first trips of the day!

Pros: Offering a mostly direct route through Tewksbury with hourly headways six days per week, the 12 serves as an important suburban connector. It links up residences, malls, and the Tewksbury State Hospital to Lowell and Wilmington Stations, so there are a lot of places people can take this.

Cons: As much as I harped on the scenery, there isn’t much wrong with the 12. A slight nitpick is that the departure times shift forward by ten minutes in the late afternoon on weekdays, which is a little annoying.

Nearby and Noteworthy: You read the post. I didn’t like what I saw along this one…

Final Verdict: 8/10
This is a great route that serves all of the major ridership draws of Tewksbury. It’s used by shoppers, people going to the hospital, and maybe even commuters heading for Wilmington Station (although one earlier trip would be much more helpful for that). It’s just a shame the 134 can’t be extended just a little further from its terminus to create another MBTA-LRTA connection!
