Shoveling it, indeed

February 13, 2009

NH Business Review Staff,

To the editor:

Right now, even by bus:

• It is inconvenient to travel between Nashua and Boston

• It is impossible from Manchester anymore

• It is inconvenient to take a bus from the middle of nowhere (new “terminals” on I-93)

• It is very expensive to take a bus from either place

Now, let’s assume we want railroad in New Hampshire for commuting to Boston:

• How much will it cost round-trip?

• How long will it take to get there, station to station?

• What will the train schedule be, how often will it run inbound and outbound?

So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears.
