448/449 (Marblehead – Downtown Crossing via Paradise Road or Humphrey Street, Lynnway, and Airport)

448/449 (Marblehead – Downtown Crossing via Paradise Road or Humphrey Street, Lynnway, and Airport)

by Miles Taylor | Sep 9, 2017 | Miles on the MBTA

My very first review was of the 459. My second-to-last MBTA review will be of its counterparts, the 448 and 449. The funny thing is that I took the 449 over a year ago, but I just didn’t want to review it until I had the 448 done and I could do both in one post!...

424 (Eastern Ave and Essex Street – Wonderland Station via Highland Ave)

Huh…this is one of the more interesting routes on the MBTA. It’s just weird to me that there’s a bus from Salem to the North Shore and Liberty Tree Malls, then onwards to Danvers! What’s more, it even runs on Saturdays, which was the day my...
411 (Kennedy Drive or Jack Satter House – Malden Center Station)

411 (Kennedy Drive or Jack Satter House – Malden Center Station)

by Miles Taylor | May 22, 2016 | Miles on the MBTA

The 411 has to be one of the most diverse – and crazy – routes on the MBTA. It includes a few strange deviations, including one through marshland in Revere! Keep in mind that this route sometimes uses new Excelsior buses, so it can be very odd to see them...
