Aboard the New BLT!
The
Bedford Local Transit

October 6, 2008! The BLT
offers scheduled fixed runs to shopping malls, hospitals, and medical
offices and also on-demand door-to-door service within
Bedford
. Anyone may ride the BLT. The
BLT uses a wheelchair-accessible van.
The BLT is funded in part by the
MBTA.

Mall, Lahey Clinic, the Billerica Mall,
Billerica

run, either board at any of the stops at the times listed, or
