A peoplemover can't come soon enough at logan. The 22 bus was horrendously bad at 5pm on a Wednesday even though they've attempted to make it less-bad by separating terminal drop off from terminal pickup. Suggestions:
1) If Logan is going to run
DROP-OFF ONLY 22s why not drop off on the
DEPARTURES level? Running dropoff-only on Arrivals is double-bad:
a) it taunts the arrivals passengers, who ask/beg to be let on when the bus stops to drop off, and that delays everyone
b) it drops off departing passengers on the arrivals level. That's sick, adding a needless elevator/escalator ride
2) Make it clear to those boarding the
PICKUP 22 BUS at A that they need to
better-stow their bags because two more stops at Terminal B are yet to come
3) Get the ride down to less than
20 MINUTES from A to the Blue line. No wonder Google Maps suggested I bike from A to the Blue Line. 22-Blue-GLX to Medford/Tufts took an hour mostly because the 22 took 20 minutes.
4) Time for a free
Gold Line (or maybe SLN) BRT from Logan to North Station, or NS-Haymarket-Logan.
5) Time to call the siblings at Massport Sumner/Callahan and have a HOT/HOV3+ lane in those tunnels. Toll in the HOT lane would be double the other lane.
6) If Eastie needs to be bought-off for losing "its lane" in the tunnels, Run some Bennington Street service thru the same HOT lane
7) Get lots more buses generally. And better-explain stops: Everyone from A Arrivals had no idea what B1 and B2 were. Rent a Car people were super confused by, what to them, was an unexplained stop at Blue Line (particulary because it came after a whole lotta random-feeling street time)
