2/20/2013 - NEW COMMUTE CHANGES! PLEASE READ! - Due to the recent death of my grandmother and because I will no longer be getting free rides home from Boston with my father in his truck to transport my bicycle home, effective Monday, February 25, 2013, the following Boston Commute changes go into effect:
WEEKDAYS:
Option 1: After Cummins Highway, bicycles must ride to Mattapan Station for MBTA bus 245 to Quincy Center and then transfer for 230 to Montello.
Option 2: Ride down Cummins Highway to Mattapan Square, turn left and follow River Street, turn left at Dorchester Avenue and follow Dorchester Avenue to Ashmont Station and get the MBTA bus 240 to Avon Square
and then ride down North Main Street to return to Brockton.
WEEKENDS:
After Cummins Highway, bicycles will now follow American Legion Highway to Walk Hill Street, turn left, follow Walk Hill Street to Hyde Park Avenue to go to Forest Hills Station, board the MBTA Bus 16 to Andrew Station for the Red Line to Quincy Center or Braintree Station.
Note: If it’s Quincy Center Station we get off the Red Line subway at, we must be there by 2:20pm to ensure we make it for the 2:30pm departure of MBTA bus 230 to Montello Commuter Rail Station. But if the bus is missed at Quincy Center Station, ride to to the end at Braintree and get the bus to Montello there, and if missed, we ride our bikes all the way back to Brockton to get home, via Route 37 through Washington Street, Braintree and North/South Franklin Street, Holbrook.
