120 MBTA Bus

The MBTA does not have a very good reputation from it’s users & other public transit riders alike. With that said, the bus lines provide a vital link for so many people who are not in walking distance of a T stop or own a reliable automobile. The 120 bus route is exactly this. It winds in & out of the small neighborhood streets of East Boston bringing people to business & work. Now for the line itself. The majority of the bus drivers are also pleasant & do their jobs very well. The shear number of people who depend on the 120 on a daily basis who hopefully bring more number of buses to the line. Riders can wait up to an hour to get home. Then they when does arrive, people need to squeeze into the bus. Which can at times be filthy, so it lessens the number of seats available. While I understand that the MBTA is squeezed budgetary wise they do need to take into account the riders in a more efficient & thoughtful way. It is all bad, given the few upgrades the MBTA have made over the few years, the Charlie Card system is very convenient for payment & the cost is not astronomical yet but severe analysis needs to be conducted to better serve all of us.
