That is terrible. @CityOfBoston @MassDOT? @MartyForBoston?

That's a problem. Thank you for posting this. Proof that Boston has a hell of a ways to go before they can become Copenhagen.Here's a bit of a Twitter thread I did about one problem with it:

They should do the following things:
1. Reconfigure the airport bus so there is more standing room and less seats.
2. Operate the bus around the airport twice. First go around discharge only. Second go-around, pickup only. It would be faster than sitting for 5 minutes because people cant get off.
I thought the city had finished the project of reconstructing Roslindale Square, but this week they just installed a bunch of sets of those white posts to prevent cars from taking overly sharp turns at various intersections. It’s a really nice touch and I think will do a lot for traffic calming. Hope to see them more around the city.
They are also going to reposition some, or at least one, of the bus stops. Look for the South St./Taft Hill Court stop to move to the other side of the intersection, in front of the old Petco building. That might be the end of things, though I'd like to see them do some stop consolidation in the square. I see no need for the two inbound Washington/Poplar/Corinth St. stops.
Anyone have any idea why Herald St, in particular, is so horribly congested every afternoon rush hour? The opposite direction streets, like Berkeley, are not nearly as bad in the morning.

Not sure if this the right thread, but Im sitting in the cell lot at Logan right now and can’t get over how much of the traffic is made up of busses between the Massport shuttles, Silver Line, private lot shuttles, and private coach busses. This might be overanalyzing the situation, but its really sending home the (correct) message that driving your car through here is a pain and that taking transit is so much more efficient.
My hot take/question is if seperating these services into decicated ROWs or building some of the crazy pitches of looping rail service would end up encouraging more drivers doing pickup/drop off and end up creating more congestion by making it “easier” and less “crowded” on the roads around the airport while keeping the same tiny cell lots and pick up areas.
