Answer 3 :
I think your choices are A). Hitchhike (illegal on the Mass. Pike) or B). Bus (www.greyhound.com or www.peterpanbus.com).. Sorry but they tore up the trolley tracks in the late 1920's/1930's, and there's no train service to Amherst. Flying?! Yeah, SURE!!! In a Cessna or Piper Cub maybe...
Answer 4 :
Peter Pan bus. It's around $15 each way and you get it right downtown at South Station.
Answer 5 :
Try http://www.ridebuzz.org That weekend is the end of Spring Break for UMass Amherst Students so many of them will be returning to campus. You may be able to get a ride with someone for part of the cost of gas.
