Hello signage, where’s my friend?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Berkshires Visitor resources<\/h2>\n

Public transportation into and within our beautiful 950 square miles is a challenge for anybody without a car. The much ballyhooed Berkshire Flyer that pretends to be a train route from NYC to the Berkshires, is an iffy proposition. Sometimes there is a connection at the Rensselaer Amtrak station<\/strong> for a train to Pittsfield<\/strong> on summertime Fridays (return Sunday), sometimes there’s a bus, but never is there adequate intra-Berkshires public transportation Friday evenings and all day Sunday. Nor does Pittsfield boast much in the way of private taxi and car services.<\/p>\n

That said, we hope these pages will be useful in the planning of visits to the Berkshires<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
