On the day this post comes out, August 27th, 2017, the Tiger Trolley is being eliminated. Good freaking riddance. The bus at the Holyoke Transportation Center. We left the Holyoke Transportation Center and made our way up Maple Street, then we turned onto Lyman...

I let out a groan when this thing showed up and it was a stupid minibus. I mean, with some routes you expect it. The "Tiger Trolley"? Yeah, that's a minibus. The "Palmer Village Shuttle"? Gotta be a minibus. But the X98...gosh, I mean, that sounded like a legitimate...

Rush hour-only bus time! Oh...except there's one midday trip. And one late morning trip. Alright, so I guess the 46 is 66% rush hour-only... The bus zooming down the street. Sam and I got on at the GRC, the northernmost stop of the UMass triad of stops. From there, we...

The B48 is amazing and wonderful and I love it to bits! Final Verdict: 10/10. Alright, review over, have fun! No...I guess there's more to talk about than just that... The bus coming into the terminal. Leaving the Holyoke Transportation Center, we headed down...

Ahhhh, the P21 is like the total opposite of the P20, and from a riding perspective, that makes it way better of a trip. No malls, no deviations, just a nice straight route from Holyoke to Springfield. Yeah, it still takes a while, and it's less frequent, but...

Why does the most frequent route from Springfield to Holyoke also have to be the looooonnnngggeeeesssstttt? The P20 is a miserable splurge of shopping malls and housing developments connecting the two biggest hubs of the PVTA system. Okay, it's not a...

Heyyyyy, let's hop on the Prison Express! No, I'm not joking, that's literally what the B12 is: a nonstop, highway-running express route...to a prison. Like, a gigantic, proper prison. Huh. Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that this is a strange route. Here...

Man, I wonder how the residents of Plainfield Street got around "b4" the B4 came around! HA! Ahem... The bus at Union Station. We left Union Station and headed down the wide Main Street. We were going away from downtown, though, so the scenery was boring - just...

Sometimes the madness of the B7 can be a bit much. I just wish there was an alternative way of getting from the Eastfield Mall to Springfield that's a little bit quieter. Wait...the B17 is quieter and faster? Wow, okay, cool! Just let me...

Woah, hey, it's, like, an actual bus route! Yes, despite the fact that much of the PVTA does feel like a typical RTA, they also have a fair amount of routes that feel like legitimate city buses. The B7 is one such example, running northeast from Springfield up to the...

After the monster review of the R29, it'll be kinda nice to do something and short - and the P20E is perfect for that. This is an express route from the Holyoke Mall to Springfield Union Station, and it's truly an express route. Making literally ONLY those two...

The R29 is a beast. Running from UMass all the way down to the Holyoke Mall, it passes colleges, cities, woods, suburbia, mountains, and everything in between. A one-way trip takes an hour and a half! Let's get right into this! My stalker shot is ruined by the fact...
