Transportation: Getting Around Dartmouth

Explore the diverse transportation options in Dartmouth, including the economical SRTA #9 bus service connecting Fall River and New Bedford for just $1.25 per zone. Taxis like Blue Bird and Yellow Cab offer direct pickup, though costs can add up. Bicycles are a green, cost-effective choice but may be impractical for long distances or winter weather. For independence, consider using local autos, while walking offers a free option when locations are nearby. Train services are available for longer travel, though with fixed schedules.
