Also moved here from CA several years ago and getting a car here is WORTH IT. I did Uber and Zipcar and got rides from people. The latter was a nice way to bond with people, but Uber and Zipcar added up. I tried the bus system, but it drove me crazy how the bus drivers left before they were supposed to (they would arrive and leave before the scheduled bus stop).

I used it for the first few years, splitting the cost with friends as much as possible.

At the time, I think Zipcar was $9 Annual fee then something like $9/hr (it’s been a while I don’t fully remember).

A lot of places in the city were probably $18 round trip for Uber.

Up to this point, I had one job off campus and the rest were on campus. By my fourth year, I had picked up jobs outside of my school and a car was needed. I’m so glad to have the car, especially to go to places outside Worcester.
