I rode the very first PVTA fixed route service from Westfield to Northampton! PVTA Route G47, which began service today, runs on weekdays connecting Northampton, Easthampton, Southampton, Westfield, and Southwick along MA-10. transitapp.com/en/region/sp...

Got to see the first Link413 bus leaving out of Northampton this morning! Link413 is a collaboration between PVTA, BRTA, and FRTA to provide long distance bus service between Hampshire, Berkshire, and Franklin counties.

Fast express buses that have regular schedules can't be beat. PVTA's G73E gets you between downtown Springfield and downtown Northampton in about a half hour, with trips departing every half hour. It takes the same amount of time to drive and you don't have to park either 😁

At least they'll be pulled by dual-mode locomotives, so electrification isn't completely out of the question someday? portal.ct.gov/governor/new...

It's a beautiful evening in downtown Westfield (minus all the cars and the big parking lot)

Bleh. Absolutely not. Immediately deleted. 🤮

Spent the warm afternoon e-biking to a vineyard and back! Brignole Vineyard is adjacent to the Farmington Valley Canal Trail, part of the New Haven & Northampton Canal Greenway.

Everything about this page is fucked. Are you sure you want to leave? You can stay and "save" by getting this different plan and paying even more per month! Still want to cancel? Sure, click this button to talk to someone who will try to convince you to stay.

We love a full-color display on a bus that has real-time information about the trip 😊

Hey friends! I'm going to be in New Orleans for a few days next week. Any recommendations on places to visit/things to do? Any interesting museums, cultural/historical sites, live music, good food/drink, tours, and of course anything transit/biking/urbanism related 😁 Thanks in advance!

ValleyBike will continue running through the winter this year! Info in the screenshot from a newsletter from the City of Northampton's Planning & Sustainability Department.

As the season progresses, our vendor will work to maximize bike and station availability during snow related events.

You can also ValleyBike to the polls! Use promo code BIKETOVOTE for two free rides so you can get to and from the polling place. You can even use Transit app to get directions using ValleyBike, since ValleyBike hubs are visible there too!

Today is Election Day, and there are so many ways to get to the polls in the Pioneer Valley! PVTA partnered with Transit app to display polling locations in the app, making it easy to find information and get directions by PVTA bus, biking, or walking.

From earlier this week: biking along the Pinellas Trail, it passes through downtown Tarpon Springs, FL in this interesting layout where it is situated in the median of a street with one narrow lane on either side. Felt strange at first but works surprisingly well!

Even in the snow, people (and dogs) walk. We should make sure it's safe for them too.
