HIKING

If the campus green isn’t enough wilderness for you, try taking a hike, or maybe a bike ride or run, to one of these Central Mass. outdoor retreats. Most trails are well marked and fairly easy to moderate climbs, however, be prepared when you trek off by following these suggestions:

• Let someone know where you’ll be and when you expect to return

• Bring water and healthy snacks like granola and fruit

• Wear sneakers or boots — walking in the woods is not a fashion contest

• If maps are available, bring one!

• Don’t leave valuables in plain sight in your car at parking areas. While break-ins are not frequent, they have been known to happen at some places

Don’t have a car on campus? Don’t sweat. There are plenty of ways to get around.BUSWRTA Buses Main Office60 Foster St., Worcester 508-791-9782 therta.comThe WRTA is Worcester’s regional bus transit system. It provides safe, comfortable and reliable transportation around the city of Worcester as well as 37 surrounding communities. With its transportation hub at Union Station, all WRTA busses can connect commuters to other forms of transportation, including the commuter rail and taxi services. All busses, including the diesel-electric hybrids, are wheelchair accessible. Fares for the WRTA are $1.50 per one-way trip and a College Semester UPASS, giving unlimited rides to students for one semester, is available to students (with student ID) for $100. New technology allows commuters to get information about schedules and arrival times directly on their cell phones by either scanning a QR code or sending the bus number in a text message to 41411. Find a full list

of schedules at therta.com/schedules/. The bus system allows for a simple and inexpensive way to get off campus.

MART Buses1427R Water St., Fitchburg 978-345-7711 mrta.usThe Montachusett Regional Transit Authority (MART) is the public transportation system for Fitchburg and Gardner, located in North Central Massachusetts, serving 22 cities and towns. MART offers translation services at no charge, and all buses, including the recent hybrid additions, are wheelchair accessible. MART does not run on Sundays or Holidays. Fare within the Fitchburg/Leominster or Gardner Area is $1.50 per one-way trip, and $3 between Fitchburg/Leominster and Gardner. It is always a good idea to spend a few minutes exploring the MART website to learn routes, schedules and to open yourself to a simple and inexpensive transportation opportunity.

CABThe only way to get a cab in Worcester is by phone, so be sure to write these numbers down and save them

somewhere. On a late night, after busses stop running, a cab may be your safest way home. Both services are available 24 hours a day and they usually take no more than 10 minutes to arrive. Rates are very reasonable depending, obviously, on where you’re headed.

Red Cab 508-792-9999 worcredcab.comYellow Cab 508-754-3211 yellowcabworcester.com

In the Fitchburg and Gardner area, two cab companies offer 24-hour service, especially helpful after busses stop running.

LEAVING TOWN

BUSPeter Pan and Greyhound busses are an excellent and relatively inexpensive way to get you out of the city and even out of the state. The inter-city station is located right at Union Station. These busses could offer a way back home for a weekend.Peter Pan Busses2 Washington Sq., Worcester; 528 North Main St., Leominster800-343-9999 peterpanbus.comGreyhound Busses2 Washington Sq., Worcester, 800-231-2222 greyhound.comFox Bus Lines3 Silver Fox Dr, Millbury, 508-865-6000 silverfoxcoach.com

Located just one town away from Worcester in Millbury, Fox Bus Lines provides transportation across and/or out of state, similar to the services of Peter Pan and Greyhound.

COMMUTER RAILThe MBTA is a popular way to get from Worcester to Boston, or Fitchburg to Boston. Prices vary depending on where you get off along the way. Many convenient stops are available along the route and when the train is running on time, the trip is fast and convenient. Be sure to check the schedule before planning your trip into the city because departure times vary.

MBTA Commuter Rail2 Washington Sq., Worcester, 508-929-1300 100 Main St., Fitchburg, mbta.com

RAILAnother transportation system out of Union Station, the Amtrak also provides transportation out of state. The schedule for the Amtrak is less frequent and more expensive, but it is undeniably a more comfortable ride if you can swing it.Amtrak, 2 Washington Sq., Worcester, 800-872-7245 amtrak.com

VANIf you have your sights set on New York City, try New York City Express that drives a full-sized, 14 passenger van straight into the city for roughly the same price as Peter Pan and other busses.
