'Mode': TO,AROUND
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: Forget mass transit in Gloucester; it's pathetic. The buses only run once every 2 hours on the average and the trains are only commuter rail, not the real 'T' most tourists expect to find here. Rent a car at Logan Airport and save yourself the hassle. It's a quick highway run and takes less than an hour to get here from Logan. Taxis do run 24 hours here, so don't worry about getting stranded.
You can view CATA bus schedules online at http://www.canntran.com/ or go to the Web sites for local car rentals at http://www.enterprise.com/ or http://www.rent-a-wreck.com/. The MBTA also has train schedules on its site.

Jim_Eliason Wed Nov 28, 2007 03:43 UTC Nice tips!	HometownPride Fri Jul 7, 2006 23:08 UTC The Willow Rest is really making progress! They now have beer, wine, cakes, and delicious meals to-go. Stop by and taste what's cookin'!
emilienoelle Thu Jan 6, 2005 01:16 UTC I love this city and your pictures are great! When I was in college I used to go to the St. Peter festival here every year with my friend from Sicily. Even now I feel that it is the one of the only "real" communities left on the north shore.	dsantosh Wed Jan 28, 2004 04:51 UTC Whale watching should be great fun...Marvellous creatures in the sea...is it not.Also Fiesta should be great..is it not?Great coverage and nice tips and phtographs.
