New Metro bus service makes it a breeze to commute to BIW

Metro News

Normally, electrician Keith Devine would be in the BIW 500, jumping on a shuttle bus to his truck, then racing home to Yarmouth. But today, he’s chilling in the back of a blue Metro BREEZ bus that he caught at 3:40 p.m., right across the street from the shipyard.

He says he’d happily ride the bus if there was one that came to his town. "I take a nap, or I read a book, or I just listen to a podcast, kind of a way to degas from the day," Devine said.
