Jury Summons Question

[borgin.livejournal.com]

I just did a google search of this community and while I found discussions on other courts, I didn't find anything for this one:

I was summoned to jury duty in Woburn. I don't drive. Does using only public transportation qualify me for a hardship transfer to another court in Middlesex County? If so, which ones are the most T-accessible? My card lists Malden, Lowell, Marlborough, Somerville, and Ayer as hardship transfer possibilities.

If not, it looks like the best bet is the 134 bus, which leaves from Wellington Station. It wouldn't be fun to get there (I live in Davis) but it would be possible.

While it's too late a comment for this OP, I recently had jury duty that had been scheduled for Lowell. I did a hardship transfer on the basis of being a non-driver (not only not having a car, but not being a driver) and it was approved. I noted that to make it to the courthouse by 8 am I would need to leave my home at 5 am to take public transit.

I transferred it to the 3rd district court which is in Medford, right by the shopping plaza. I took a $15 cab there in the morning, and then walked up to the 134 bus into Medford Square and then the 96 home at the end of the day.
