Bus Schedules

Which PVTA bus stops in Northampton on ironically Elm Street? Note: B43? -D.J.

I don't even know where Elm St is and I actually lived in Northampton for over a year. You are right though that the B43 does go to Northampton. However there are other buses that run in Northampton that we don't carry maps for. We are not the PVTA, we do provide maps for people as a courtesy but do not give out detailed information. People can look through the maps themselves (you are welcome to help if you have bus experience) or go to the PVTA website at http://www.pvta.com/index.php They can also call the general number at (413) 781-PVTA for information.

Someone was looking for a bus to the Eastfield Mall. She was upset that I did not know how to get there. Are we supposed to know all the buses?

Basically we have bus schedules for people to take and use. It is not our responsibility to read and show people how to use them. We have them as a courtesy but it is the patrons responsibility to look through them and figure them out. If you have experience with the buses and schedules you can help people with the ones we have. We get those schedules from the campus PVTA office but we are not PVTA. If there is a schedule that we don't have the patron can go to the PVTA website here at http://www.pvta.com/index.php and look for themselves. (I did go look and found the Eastfield Mall bus schedule but I would not have a clue to figure out how to get a bus that would connect to that route.) They could try contacting PVTA themselves and ask at (413) 586-5806
