The route will be expanded to include Fort Washington Park and University Park at MIT, with additional new flag stops at the corner of Pacific and Albany Sts., Massachusetts Ave. and Albany St., and at 345 Vassar St. In addition, the shuttle will now stop within walking distance of the Central Square MBTA station and Massachusetts Avenue businesses. Phase II service provides more direct routing and better coverage of important Cambridge destinations for employees of participating organizations. Key benefits are a direct link between workplaces and public transportation, carless connections for businesses that have multiple Cambridge worksites, and easy employee access to local businesses for lunch and errands during the day. The two vehicles will travel in opposite directions on the same route.
Riders can tell the shuttle direction by name and sign color.
This shuttle starts on the river side of the Grand Junction railroad. Both vehicles will be painted white with royal blue trim, the colors of shuttle operator Paul Revere Transportation. New participants for Phase II service are University Park at MIT and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which join pilot project participants MIT, Millennium Pharamaceuticals, Cambridge Technology Partners, Crimson Tech and Modern Continental Companies. The shuttle schedule is now on line.
