Honestly, I've started taking the bus a lot more recently and it's been a really good experience for me.

The 77 is great and should run more frequently, and the city without a doubt should keep these bus lanes.

They should add an express bus that hits the more used stops but much fewer of them. The CT1 was a great idea but the T set it up to fail.

Well, you need about a quarter of the stops for an express bus, and you run them more during rush hours. The CT 1 fails because they didn’t advertise it, they treated as a separate bus on running the same route, they ran 1 bus for every 10 regular #1 buses, and it stopped at Central Sq, not Harvard.

The CT2 is successful and still running, but ran a separate route connecting multiple subway lines.

I just can't get over the fact that we had funding all lined up and everything to extend to the Red Line all the way to Arlington, then blocked it. And forty years later we are talking about maybe doing an express bus route.
