With a population of a little over 40,000 residents in the town of Concord, I wasn't anticipating a mass transportation system. Much to my surprise when I first arrived to New Hampshire, I spotted several bus stop benches along Main Street. Failing to see a regular stream of buses however, I thought that the benches were somewhat of a practical joke on the part of city officials-"If we did have a transit system, this is wear the bus stop would be."

After a little detective work, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Concord does have public transportation. Adults ride for a dollar each time with fixed route from Penacook to Manchester Street, Concord Hospital to the Steeplegate Mall, and St.Paul's School to Trailways and the Opportunity Corridor at Horseshoe Pond with an hourly service to New Hampshire Technical Institute.

Enjoy the area transit, Concord-style. Don't forget to check schedules on your way out.
