SHERBORN BUS SERVICE

In case you are not aware, Sherborn now has bus service from the Town Center to the West Natick commuter rail station. The service is provided by the Metrowest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA). The service is provided at no cost to the Town because it is funded by shifting the Town's mandatory assessment for the MBTA to the MWRTA instead.

At present there is only a single run in the morning and a single run in the evening. It is hoped that service will expand as ridership increases. The morning run leaves from the Sherborn Inn (where there is FREE PARKING) at 7:23 AM in order to arrive in time for the 7:46 train from West Natick. The returning bus leaves the West Natick station after arrival of the outgoing 5:35 PM train from South Station that arrives at West Natick at 6:26. The bus arrives at the Sherborn Inn at approximately 6:50 PM.

The Adult fare for the bus is $1.50 each way, and a 10-ride pass can be purchased for $11.00. The fare for students is $1.00 (10-ride pass for $9.00), and for those 65 older it is $.75 (10-ride pass for $7.00). Those with a Medicare card, or an MBTA or MWRTA transportation access card that identifies the holder as qualifying for the disabled fare pay the same as seniors and blind persons with a Commission for the Blind card ride for free.

With limited parking (and at a cost of $4.00 per day!), the bus provides a more convenient and lower cost means of getting to the train station.

If you have questions about the service or need additional information, you may call the MWRTA at 508-935-2222 or 888-996-9782.
