Are you trying to argue that the 47 isn't an important crosstown route? Because the ridership figures definitely don't agree with you there. If anything the stretch over the BU bridge is the most important, with incredibly high peak loads, even higher than the 1 or 66 at their busiest.Have you ever tried to take that #47? You'll be in traffic on the BU Bridge for days.
It is still quicker to take the #66 bus and just go inbound. Take the #1 and go outbound.(though this is getting much much slower since bike lanes on the Mass Ave Bridge.)
Or take the Red Line to Green and go outbound. OR-- try to blend in with the students and use Harvard/MIT's LMA shuttles. These cuts out all the tons of stops and thus picks up some time. Or take Uber/Lyft direct from home which is the fastest option and you'l have less stress plus a guaranteed place to sit.
