I took it several times over the weekend. All in all, very pleased. I'd say it's marginally better than the Green Line in terms of performance. I'm glad they are enthusiastic about optimization. A few things I noticed:
- My stop is eastern ave. I'm impressed how quickly it gets to Airport.
- That said, buses stop at the EA stop sign after stopping (ie stop twice). I think that's supposed to indicate where the bus stops, not that it needs to stop twice.
- Also, they should keep to the right on chelsea ave to avoid traffic turning on to Curtis. Also, they can turn right on red at service rd.
- Lastly, one driver took the wrong route onto the twt, but it was their first time.
I missed two bunched buses this morning, and then waited like 15 mins for the next one. I think for this to be a slam dunk, it needs subway intervals, so double the frequency. Is that a possibility?
Hope it doesn't sound negative. I'm loving it. Glad to finally have some solid transit options.
