A North Shore Bus Tour – A Trip Down the MBTA’s Route 442
This post is a little different than our usual transit adventures, as we’re really looking at two sister buses that run nearly the same route. MBTA Routes 441 and 442 both extend from the northern terminus of the Blue Line in Revere up to Marblehead, a historic peninsula town that’s otherwise completely cut off from…

Providence’s Rapid Transit – A Trip Down the RIPTA R Line
The R Line is the crown jewel route of Rhode Island’s transit network, RIPTA. It connects the densest commuter stretch of Greater Providence across three cities, takes as close to a direct route as possible through each, and has by far the best frequency of any bus in the system. It runs regularly once every…

From North to South in Maine’s Easternmost County – A Drive Down ME Route 191
Washington County has always felt like a part of Maine that’s glossed over in most discussions of the state. It’s east of Acadia National Park, its largest city has barely over 3,000 people, and there’s no major interstates that run through to connect it to the rest of New England. It’s unfortunately both one of…

A Stormy Day in Monadnock Valley – A Drive Down NH Route 123
Nestled in the southeast of New Hampshire, between the Connecticut and Merrimack River Valleys, lies the Monadnock Region. While the state is most famous for its White Mountains in the north and short but beautiful coastline in the southeast, this region carries its own kind of landscape that can’t be found anywhere else. Monadnock is…

The High-Speed Train Through the Heart of Boston – A Trip Down the Fairmount Line
Within the densely interconnected web of subway routes in Boston, one route stands out for just how strange it is in context of the greater system. It connects some of the largest residential neighborhoods in the city to its commercial hub, and runs just blocks away from the largest park Boston has to offer. The…

May 2026 Update: One Road is Returning!
Welcome back folks! It’s been a while, and I think it’s about time for an update on what’s been happening with this site. This blog was started as a university project back in 2024, and it was probably the most ambitious project I worked on while there. Driving across Maine and its neighbors regularly and…

The Mountain Road of Midcoast Maine – A Drive Down Maine Route 220
In the small coastal town of Friendship, Maine, two very obscure routes meet. Route 97, to the east, is obscure for a simple reason: It’s only a short 9 and a half mile long connector to Thomaston. But the other is a bit more interesting. It connects 11 towns across 3 counties, and runs for…

A Loop on the Quiet Side of Mt. Desert Island – A Drive Down Maine Route 102
In the village of Somesville, Maine, on the western half of Mt. Desert Island, sits perhaps the most interesting intersection in the state. My interest in this intersection doesn’t come from any of the surrounding landmarks, not the fire station in the northeast corner nor the theatre just east of that. Rather, what makes this…
