Description

Bradley Jay Fills In On NightSide with Dan Rea:


The year 1630 marks the first time public transportation was formed in Boston. It was a ferry service initiated by the Massachusetts Bay Company that took riders across the Charles River, between what is now the North End and Charlestown. This spared the English colonists a two-day walk around Boston Harbor! Learn more about the history of Boston transit with Steven Beaucher, Cofounder and Proprietor of WardMaps LLC.
