Pretty Decent Transportation, Buses Are the Best Option

Taxis in the Boston metro area are insanely expensive. I have taken cabs to numerous places and the minimum I spend is $15(this could be to just go to the mall which is a couple miles away). The best option we have is the Peter Pan bus system, which is the bus company chartered by Wellesley to get students into Cambridge. The bus runs everyday of the week which is very convenient. During the week Monday-Friday (until 6 pm) the Peter Pan is free, which is great. On the weekends the bus is 1 punch from a punch card or one token, which is equivalent to $3. So overall transportation is okay, but waiting for a bus that comes only once an hour can be annoying.

On Campus, Awesome, Off Campus, Well Ouch

On campus, well we're a super small school so we don't really need transportation. In fact, I drove the van that provides transportation on school and I found that there are a lot of snobby people at school who think it is the school's fault that they have to walk 7 min in the cold on a well-lit campus where max it takes 10 minutes to get somwhere.

Off campus, the bus situation was kinda crazy at times. The token prices increased and the buses seemed to fill quickly and they became less frequent over time. However, I feel like these were necessary changes because of the financial situation of the school and I think that the people who complained the most were probably students who didn't understand why financial aid was a high priority for the school instead of transportation to the frats in boston.

Peter Pan Bus

The Peter Pan bus is lovely, it comes all the time and until very late at night which is great.
