"This area lacks decent public transportation. Having a car is extremely helpful. The is the bus system but it isn’t that reliable and it doesn’t have lots of stops and routes so one has to walk a distance to get to path of bus"

"An hour and a half drive back to Boston if your lucky. You can fly which is way more convenient but driving is the cheapest. It’s our summer home so we don’t care that much since we’re down all summer."
