The busiest links appear here, with the share of the town’s rides each one accounts for.
Some towns keep their rides. Most don't.
Seven in ten Boston pickups end in Boston. In Brookline it's one in ten — nearly every ride leaves town. That number decides whether a drop-off leaves you somewhere with more work or somewhere you have to drive out of.
The suburbs really do pay better. You still can't live there.
224 of 345 towns offer a better next ride than Boston does. Together they carry 5.7% of the state's rides, at a median of under one pickup an hour. The premium is real. Reaching it is the problem.
Massachusetts is not one market. It's several.
Follow the chain of rides and Cambridge sits about 3 rides from Boston. Worcester is 31. Springfield is 162 — close enough to drive to, far enough that it's a different city's economy entirely.
Every number here is the state's. Not ours.
Massachusetts law requires the DPU to publish these counts each June. We converted the two spreadsheets and drew them on a map — nothing is modelled, estimated, or scraped.
This is the kind of thing we think about all day.

US Census TIGER 2023. Shading is scaled to each town’s own busiest link, so the colours
show that town’s pattern — the legend gives the real numbers. Daily figures are the
2025 annual total divided by 365: the state publishes yearly counts only, so these are
averages, not any particular day.
