Ep. 31: Podcasting on the PVTA

Our hosts come to you from PVTA buses and bus stops to document the experience of navigating public transit in western Mass.

Trippin' on the Shoestring co-hosts Dusty Christensen and Shelby Lee wait for their PVTA bus in Easthampton.

On this week’s episode, Trippin’ on the Shoestring comes to you from Pioneer Valley Transit Authority bus R41 and bus stops in Easthampton, Holyoke, and Springfield in an effort to document the daily experience of navigating public transit in the Connecticut River Valley. Many municipal and state leaders have talked about making public transit free for riders by removing fares, but that’s not necessarily the biggest issue those riders are facing. Come take a ride with co-hosts Shelby Lee and Dusty Christensen to hear directly from bus riders about their public-transit concerns and biggest dreams.
