Hi taylor123-ga,

It looks like we weren't able to help on your previous (bullfight
poster) question, but I think we've got this one covered (the timing
of your question caught my attention since I just placed a Super Bowl
bet with a good friend of mine in Newton this morning - I live in
another state).

There *is* public transportation to get you from the Boston/Newton
area to Natick Mall. It will involve riding the MBTA train to West
Natick, then taking a short (10-15 minute) bus ride to the mall.

Since I have no way of knowing what time of day you want to make the
trip, I am supplying the schedules for the train and the bus, and you
can work out the best timetable for you.

You'll start your trip on the Framingham/Worcester Line which has
complete schedules available (inbound, outbound, weekdays, weekends)
here: http://www.mbta.com/traveling_t/schedules_commuter_linedetail.asp?line=framingham

You will take the train to the West Natick station where you will get
on the Natick Neighborhood Bus. Their weekday schedule is here:

and the Satuday bus schedule is here:

Here's a Yahoo! map that shows the Natick area you'll be in - the
purple gob at the top is at the southern edge of the mall area, and
the Worcester Line train station is at the intersection of Route 135
(West Central St.) and Boden at the bottom of the map.

Hope this does the trick for you. If you have any questions or

Thanks for your question,
