New Year, No Fares: Beacon Hill Bankrolls Dozens of Free Bus Routes Statewide

An aerial view of Fall River's Route 79 expressway, looking south towards downtown Fall River (top left) and Mt. Hope Bay (top right). The view is dominated by the massive Route 79, which occupies 8 to 14 lanes alongside wide expanses of empty grass along Fall River's waterfront. Along the left edge of the photo is visible the densely-populated residential neighborhoods of Fall River's North End.
