NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WPRI) — There's a new way to get to the South Coast Rail stations in New Bedford and Fall River. On Monday, the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority (SRTA) launched the MicroConnector, an on-demand transportation service. MORE: All aboard! South Coast Rail now in service "When you’re ready to go, book a ride in our easy to use app and we’ll pick you up and bring you either to or from station," the SRTA's website said. You may be assigned a virtual bus stop as the service operates corner-to-corner not door-to-door. The MicroConnector vehicles will be branded with the service's logo and colors. If you use mobility aids or need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, you can inform the SRTA in the accessibility section in the app. If you don't have a smartphone but would like to book a ride, you can call (774) 220-6961. The SRTA recommends booking your ride at least 20 minutes before you're ready to leave. There is no pre-booking. The MicroConnector is available in certain areas of the cities pictured below from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. for the morning trains and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the evening trains.
