Vermont...a sparsely populated state but with fairly good bus agencies

I yesterday was analyzing the bus agencies of Vermont and i was surprised to see that the bus companies up there are fairly good coordinated and with an astonishing bargain fare

For starters i would speak thyfar for southern Vermont. ..from Rutland which is the 3rd largest city of Vermont and principal city of southern Vermont. ..this urban area has an extensive bus network especially which i would say the second longest one way ride pole to pole, ,.yes a bus runs between Rutland and Ludlow Okemo (here is a checkpoint to transfer to another bus to continue your trip to Bellows Falls which is part of the Brattleboro network area

For Rutland and surrounding area the agency name is Marble Valley Regional Transit District. (MVRTD) and the Brattleboro area as Connecticut River Transit (not to be confused with the powerhouse bus agency of the constitutional state)

A fare between Rutland and Bellows Falls is of $2.00 (running a distance similar to the SCT s62 bus) and another $2.00 is payed to continue to Brattleboro center from Bellows Falls

Now here's where i'm a little sceptical. ..Brattleboro and Greenfield, MA are nearly at the SAME distance as Brattleboro is to Bellows Falls. ..yet it scarce a bus running from Brattleboro and Greenfield

The problem is that in between these two points one must just take by logic a Peter Pan Bus for an expensive fare of $12.50.(which is more than 6 times the fare of the Brattleboro- Bellows Falls route)...is an abusive fare to pay by retrospective

I think either theConnecticut River Transit (The Current) or the FRTA (Franklin Regional Transit Authority) should have a bus route run at these two points that i might call the GAP since NO bus route pass thoroughly by these points (a route of FRTA terminates near the Vermont border but with no connection to a bus from Vermont whatsoever)
