Hi, We live in Quincy and are planning to move to Franklin or its surrounding areas. Need help with few questions:
- My daughter goes to Bridgewater State College but does not drive. What will be the best way for her from Franklin to Bridgewater?
- Which town is better - Franklin, Wrentham, N Attleboro, Mansfield (location, tax, public services, MBTA/Bus)
Hi anasir, I'm afraid I don't know of any way to get to Bridgewater State from the Franklin area using public transportation. I'm not positive about Mansfield, though. There might be a bus. I live in the area and the students I know that attend that school all drive/carpool, so maybe your daughter could look into a carpool? The train stops in Franklin and Mansfield would be on different lines that the one that goes into Bridgewater.
There are no MBTA buses in the towns you list. There are Brockton buses (www dot ridebat dot com) but I don't think they go to BSC. And they are not anywhere near Franklin/Mansfield, etc.
The train is really all there is out where you are looking. Bridgewater is on the Middleboro/Lakeville commuter line -- Franklin, N. Attleboro, Mansfield, and Wrentham are not. The school itself runs a shuttle bus, but that stays around Bridgewater. Honestly, she'd have to carpool or learn to drive.
Have you thought of Middleboro? That's on the same train line (she can walk to BSC from the train I believe), and is right near Rt 495.
As for location, Mansfield is the closest to the college, but Wrentham and Franklin are in the same general area. N. Attleboro seems rather far out to me -- that is down at the Rhode Island border, near Pawtucket and Providence.
Thank you folks....I will looking into carpool option :-)
