I’m really interested in how this will work. With the exception of the majority of the 69, most of those Lechmere bus routes have some significant overlap with the proposed GLX. The 80 is almost entirely redundant, the 87 is mostly redundant up to Union (mostly, because it’ll serve local traffic between Lechmere and Union), and the 88 is redundant up to about Lowell St./Somerville Junction.
I’m curious how Lechmere will function has a transfer hub in the future. Will most people heading to places beyond the redundant spots want to transfer at Lechmere and take the local buses all the way? Or will it make sense to take the Green Line further out and transfer? With the exception of maybe the 69 to Harvard (Though you could go to Union and catch the 86), it seems like it would make more sense to ride the GLX further before transferring to a bus to Clarendon Hill, Davis, Arlington Center, etc.? Right now, buses get crowded at Lechmere. And traffic often crawls for the early portions of those routes.
