"Gonneville said Boston plans to test the dedicated bus lane on Washington Street again on Tuesday and then begin to evaluate the cost and benefits." lemme predict this for you: cost = paint, labor benefits = faster travel for thousands, better on-time performance
At the very end, the article also mentions that there might be a problem with the MBTA's ridership projection model, because when applied to *existing* stops it says they should be getting a mere 20% of the ridership they're actually getting
MBTA using a model that sabotages transit prospects by underestimating ridership? wow color me fucking astonished
Between the MBTA "discovering" that bus lanes actually work and them wildly underestimating ridership for transit projects, you could be forgiven for thinking that maybe they're not that concerned with improving public transit in Boston...
