The Barnstable Patriot
David Kern, a BHS grad who is now a vice president with TripAdvisor in Needham, is calling on private companies to help do their part in helping vaccinate our fellow neighbors and our most vulnerable residents. I wanted to share this Boston Globe article and callout TripAdvisor for supporting our local community, Kern emailed the Patriot, citing a Feb. 3 article titled TripAdvisor opens up its headquarters in Needham to distribute vaccines. As a former Barnstable High School graduate – it is very important that we all do our part to help one another, especially our most vulnerable residents, Kern wrote. He added that he spontaneously thought of using TripAdvisor s now-vacant HQs as a vaccine site two weeks ago over family dinner.

The wheels on the nation s buses aren t going round and round very much these days.
Demand for bus travel has fallen by more than 80% during the pandemic as public health authorities urge people to avoid travel where possible.
That is raising concerns about the potential long-term damage to an essential transport method for millions of lower-income Americans even as air travel has shown signs of picking up since the Thanksgiving holiday period.
And those who have to take the bus, for whatever reason, are finding fewer options, and often higher prices as a result.
Feeling the pinch most are people such as Andrew Sarkis. He paid $97 for a one-way bus ticket from Hampton, Va., to New York City a 12-hour journey that required two transfers.
