   Oddly, the bus service in the town where I live does cross state lines.   
   It's based in the neighboring city of Haverhill, Mass., and riding is   
   free. However, the nearest bus stop is over a mile away, so I haven't   
   found a reason to use it yet. It could be useful if my car is ever in an   
   extended stay for repairs, since walking one mile to the bus stop is   
   better than four miles to downtown Haverhill.
