The REV Bus – Hartwell Area Shuttle was developed in 2013, and is a commuter shuttle service managed by 128 Business Council. The REV Bus is partially funded by major property developers in the Hartwell Avenue corridor of Lexington and Bedford, and partially funded by the Towns of Lexington and Bedford. The shuttle provides trips each rush hour connecting commuters from the MBTA Red Line at Alewife Station in Cambridge to worksites along Hartwell Avenue. Through its partnership with the Town of Lexington, the REV Bus also provides commuter “express” trips between Lexington Center and Alewife Station in the morning and evening. These trips provide an efficient, affordable connection to Alewife Station for Lexington residents at the peak of rush hour.

No, but we strongly recommend it. The app allows you to plan your trips, track your shuttle, and set up departure-specific alerts. And Tripshot Wallet allows you to pay your fare with the least amount of hassle and at the lowest possible cost since multi-ride passes will only be available through the app.
