As a native son of Worcester, I grew up in a city that didn’t know whether it wanted to be Wormtown or the “Paris of the 80s.” We’ve always had a bit of a complex. Do we even want to be a city? Or do we want to be a town?
Things have changed over the last 20 years. Worcester has brought housing and jobs back downtown. But there’s a third piece of the puzzle: transportation.
It’s impossible to have a bustling, walkable city without a very good public transportation system.
There are two ways to accomplish this: 1) improve service so it gets you to more of the places you want to go, and 2) make it easier to get on the bus.
