Burlington launches free LINK shuttle

Town and regional leaders gathered Monday, August 31, to launch The Link, a free, on-demand, all-electric shuttle connecting Burlington and Woburn as a one-year pilot. Rather than following fixed stops, riders request a trip through the Ride Circuit app or by calling 781-782-2521 and are matched with an available vehicle anywhere in the two-town zone, including Lahey Clinic and Winchester Hospital. Service runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., operated by Circuit and funded through a MassDOT Microtransit grant.
