Bridj, a transit system using luxury shuttle buses with amenities, is now offering morning commuter services to the South Boston Waterfront from Brookline, Allston, and South Boston. Tickets are available for purchase on the Bridj website.

Bridj service currently stops in the South Boston Waterfront in the Fort Point neighborhood near the corner of A Street, as well as at the Seaport World Trade Center. Routes originate in Brookline's Coolidge Corner at 278 Harvard Street, in Allston at 152 Brighton Avenue, and in South Boston at 442 West Broadway.  

The startup transit provider has been studying data from several sources to identify new direct shuttle routes based on where commuters work and live.    

You can sign up on Bridj's website with your zip code and email to be notified if a route is developed from your home neighborhood.

On Thursday, Oct. 9, the next Community Meeting for the South Boston Waterfront Sustainable Transportation Plan will be held at the Condon Elementary School at 200 D Street in South Boston.  

At this meeting, agency leaders from the sponsoring organizations will share their priorities for the South Boston Waterfront and seek input from the community.

For updates and plan documents, visit the plan web site at www.SBWaterfrontMobility.org. 

The South Boston Waterfront Sustainable Transportation Plan is being conducted in order to define and prioritize transportation system investments needed over the next two decades due to the rapid pace of development in the area. The plan is scheduled to be completed in December 2014, at which point a series of recommendations will be made.

Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) is the consultant studying existing conditions and developing the long term plan. Managed by A Better City, this interagency effort has included the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA), Massport, the City of Boston, the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), the MBTA, and the Seaport TMA.

This project is sponsored by the MCCA, Massport, MassDOT, and the City of Boston, with several private contributions from area companies and developers.
