miscellaneous #rta updates from the summer...
bad summer for minibus shuttles:
- #cata ended the infamous beverly shuttle
https://canntran.com/news/beverly-shuttle-service-update/
- the #wrta is ending the a and b shuttles
https://therta.com/alerts/important-service-update-routes-a-b-to-be-eliminated/the #mvrta was on strike for a week, largely due to a dispute on making saturday shifts scheduled rather than purely based on overtime
https://mevatransit.com/meva-provides-service-update-during-teamsters-local-170-strike/#gatra magically announced it was running sunday service again

two very minor #rta updates:
- small schedule changes on the #mwrta, including shifts in the 495 connector schedule. none seem significant enough to address its on time performance, but i guess better than nothing
- #gatra is finally going fare free! fixed routes only as is typical https://www.gatra.org/fare-free-fixed-route-and-ada-service-starts-october-1-2025/ -
two big #rta things today:
#gatra belatedly announcing the beginning of its "gateway link" route connecting fall river, taunton, and brockton. it's funny that it's starting a couple months after scr but it does serve taunton proper, so it has that over scr. hourly local service with a two hour run time, in addition to bihourly express service from fall river to brockton (a gatra route that doesn't serve gatra territory...). i will be interested to see how its on time performance is...
