Mass Transit
Somerville is covered by many MBTA Mass Bay Transit Authority bus lines, and has two subway stations the Davis Square Red Line stop and the Sullivan Square Orange Line stop inside the city limits and several others within a few blocks of the city limits. Expansion of the MBTA Green Line light rail to include a number of stops inside the city limits is planned, but unlikely before 2015.
Somerville has several taxi businesses. There are cab stands in Davis Square, but in most of the city cabs must be called by telephone.
By bike
The Minuteman Bike Trail, (http://www.minutemanbikew...) a converted railway right of way, the main branch of which runs from Bedford to Alewife in Cambridge extends through Davis Square and a bit further to Cedar St., parallel to Highland Ave.
