Get In

Fly

Worcester's rather large airport is currently unused by passenger airlines, however passenger service will continue on December 22, 2005 four days a week between Worcester and Orlando, Florida.

From Boston

The MBTA's Framingham Worcester Line : $6 one way. Often takes an hour to an hour and a half, depending on if you are on a local or express train.

Greyhound has far more frequent service and (sometimes) faster service. In theory this should take 50 minutes, however, Greyhound uses the Mass Pike where traffic is often miserable and significantly longer than the train. Prices generally around $9-$10.

From New York

Ramon's Transportation (508) 754-2207. $35 one way, and they will drive you directly to your destination in Worcester. They pickup in Washington Heights, near the 1/9. Call for directions to the pickup. Expect a fast ride and reggaeton .

Amtrak. The train only leaves once a day, but is quite affordable and runs from Penn Station directly to Worcester's beautiful Union station. The ride is long, not crowded, and very relaxing.

Greyhound. Overpriced and miserable, use Ramon's or Amtrak.

From the North and West

Greyhound and hitchhiking.

From Providence, RI

The most efficient way to make this trip without a car is to hitchhike (Who wrote that? No one would stop for you in MA). If you are in good shape, going north on route 122 from Providence on a bike will probably get you there sooner than the bus, many of which go via Boston. Driving in on 146 is easy, should you have a rental. There is also a shuttle service that won't get you into Worcester, but will get you close, if you can be picked up.
