The Montachusett Regional Transit Authority, MART, is proposing to amend Gardner’s bus routes to shorten the full loop time from about 1 hour 10 minutes to approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
Hearing Reminder: MART Proposing Shortening Route Travel Time by About Half
Gardner Mayor Nicholson reminded residents, “MART Montachusett Regional Transit Authority will be having a public meeting at City Hall tomorrow to discuss updates to their bus routes and service to Gardner! (Zoom in option available for those who can’t make it in person)
These updates are sure to make things easier for our residents and will cut down commute times in half. Come provide your input on the changes, MART’s services, and learn about ways to get around Gardner though our public bus system.”
How Would This Be Accomplished?
Current Routes 1 and 2 would be split in half and a NEW north loop and NEW south loop would be created.
Public Input Needed First
In order for such change to occur, a public meeting must first be held to obtain public input. That public meeting regarding proposed service changes will be held July 10, 2024 from 6pm to 7pm at the Gardner City Hall Council Chamber, 95 Pleasant Street, Gardner.
