This is a proposal for when Assembly Station opens.
They may do this anyways, but I propose for the MBTA to alter the 90 and 92 bus routes.
Cut the 90 bus back to Sullivan, as the Sullivan to Wellington stretch would be less useful:
90 Bus Route Map
Cut the 92 bus back to Sullivan as the Sullivan to Assembly stretch (which is used on midday and early afternoon rush runs only) would be less useful:
92 Bus Route Map
This would allow for shorter headways by cutting the 90 trip time down from 27 to 15 minutes, and the 92 trip time from 25 minutes to 15 minutes.
By assigning the same fleet to cover these routes:
- The 90 would have:
- 22-28 minute (currently 40-50 minute) morning headways
- 39 minute (currently 70 minute) midday headways
- 22-31 (currently 40-55 minute) minute afternoon/evening headways
- The 92 would have:
- 18-27 minute (currently 30-45 minute) midday headways
- 6-12 minute (currently 10-20 minute) early afternoon rush headways
