Restore High Frequency Bus Service to Boston Ave.

The Issue

Restore High Frequency Service to Boston Ave.

I oppose the BNRD plan to eliminate the #94 bus and replace it with the low-frequency #80 bus. 

The #94 bus is a crucial line connecting Medford Hillside/West Medford/Medford Square to the subway system (the Red Line at Davis Square and the GLX at College Ave). 

Elimination of the #94 bus will: 

  1. leave Boston Ave. in Medford with only one bus (the new #80) which will run only once per hour during the day and only every 90 minutes after 7 PM
  2. leave residents of three senior housing developments (Walkling Court, Tempone Manor, Capen Court) and their health aides without viable public transit to either the Red Line or to Medford Square
  3.  hurt the small businesses in Hillside and West Medford which depend on the many customers who access those businesses via public transit 

I request that the MBTA increase the frequency of bus service on Boston Ave. to at least every 30 minutes.
