FUTURE BUS ROUTES for GATRA

            Dear GATRA

            I’m a frequent rider of the system and I rely on the system a lot of times as It gets me places from Norton to Downtown Taunton and Raynham and Mansfield and Attleboro and I know the bus routes and I know it all and what you are want to consider in the future, either right now or in the future is how about a GATRA route that runs from Downtown Norton around the Area of Wheaton College that will cut through the Town of Easton and extending the route into Brockton as It would be wonders for those people of Norton and Easton who could use this transit bus service more often as it will serve the Residents of Red Mill Crossing in Norton, and also will provide a Bus Stop for those people who work at Bernie and Phyl’s Furniture Headquarters in the Town of Norton and also serve the Residents of Norton Glen on the eastern part of the town and maybe extending the Bus Route along 123 to Easton where you can put a bus stop at Five Corners in Easton and put a bus stop at Shaw’s Plaza in Easton and Put a bus Stop on the Corner of 123 and 138 (Depot Street and Washington Street) and also put another bus stop on the Intersection of Belmont and Washington Street (123-138) in Easton and also maybe put a bus stop in front of Stonehill College in Easton and Maybe in Conjuction with Brockton Area Transit, maybe you can share the route 123 with the BAT Bus #3 that runs from the VA Hospital to Downtown Brockton at the BAT Intermodal Center, maybe this bus route could serve the Towns of Norton, Easton, and Brockton a positive impact and the more riders you will use the bus lines, the more success this route is going to be and it is going to be called the 123 Express from Norton to Brockton and also how about a bus line that runs from the Mansfield MBTA station to Patriot Place in Foxboro and the bus stops that you could put on your bus line from the Mansfield “T” station and maybe put a bus stop on the intersection of 106 (Chauncy Street) and Copeland Drive n Mansfield and maybe another bus stop on the Intersection of 106 and  140 in Mansfield and the bus stop can go right by the hotel row in the Foxboro/Mansfield secton of 140 and put another bus stop for Foxboro Plaza and putting another bus stop in Downtown Foxboro and another stop in Front of Stop and Shop in Foxboro and finally putting a GATRA bus stop at Patriot Place so the people of Mansfield and Foxboro could use the GATRA Bus More often along with Norton and Easton and Brockton who could rely on this bus service more often and also how about the 106 Express, as you could have a bus route from the Mansfield MBTA station and extending to the intersection of East Street (106) and Franklin Street around Cousins Pizza and putting a bus stop around Eastman Street for the people who work at the industrial area of 106 and having the 106 Express Shuttle end at the Hannafords Plaza/Target plaza in Easton where the 123 Express Shuttle will meet. So I want you to look at this letter that i’m writing and thinking of putting these routes into consideration.

Sincerely,

Mr. Peter J. Wiggins
