Another issue with a corridor like Washington St to Roslindale is that, AFAIK, the different bus routes are not coordinated (maybe except 35 and 36). For most passengers, waiting 20 minutes for 2 buses back to back is much worse than waiting 10 minutes for one bus, even though they have the same combined capacity; and is not substantially better than a single bus route running every 20 minutes.
For the bus frequency map that shows Sunday service for today, I do not display coordinated frequencies for the 34, 34E, 35, or 36 bus, as the schedules are uncoordinated. As far as I know, the longest uncoordinated headway north of Roslindale Square towards Forest Hills is around 30 minutes at either the start or end of service on Sundays.
Uncoordinated schedule problems also affect the following:
* The B branch and the 57 bus between Packards Corner and Kenmore,
* The 39 and the E branch of the Green Line from Heath St. to Copley,
* The Silver Line 4 and 5 between Nubian and Oak Street W/South Cove,
* The Silver Line 1, 2, and 3 from SLW to South Station,
* The 23 and 28 in Roxbury, from Warren St. to Ruggles.
* The 89 and 101 in East Somerville from Winter Hill to Sullivan Station
* The 95 and 101 between Medford Square and Sullivan Station
* The 86 and 91 between Union Square Somerville and Sullivan Station
* The 108, 100, and 134 from Riverside Avenue to Wellington Station
* The 80 and the 94 from West Medford to Powderhouse Circle.
* The 99 and the 106 from Malden Center to Wellington Station via Main St. Everett.
* The 110 and 112 from eastern Everett to Wellington Station.
* The 99, 106, 110, and 112 from Sweetser Circle Everett to Wellington Station.
* The 60 and the 8 bus from Kenmore to Longwood Medical Area via Brookline Ave.
* The 47 and the 8 from Brookline Ave. LMA to Nubian via Ruggles.
* The 450 and the 455 from West Lynn Garage to Wonderland.
