i live in south boston and its not the best place but the houses are small and good to live in if u have max a family of 3 people but i love living here because u always got busses comin and if not busses take a bike (i dont have a car cuz i dont need it!) and the cost is not that much at all! Boston is a great place!

Why do they call this a line it's a fucking bus!!!

@mpcnovice

1) rail is expensive especially after the cost of the big dig

2) don't need to make a new infrastructure can just use roads already built

3) Bus is cheap, all they had to do was make the tunnel and create dedicated lanes

[mpcnovice]

this seems stupid..why not rail?

Boston -seems- to be getting a little better, traffic wise. A few years ago the SE Expressway (Rt. 3) was rated in the top five (maybe even # 2 , I forget) of the worst rush hour bottleneck spots in the whole US of A. Since I don't work in Boston anymore I can't say it's still like that now, but some people say the SE "Expressway" traffic is worse now than at the height of the Big Dig. Go figure. Ride a bike :)

The silver line you saw downtown was silver line washington st. Its pretty much a bus with a dedicated bus lane that isn't really dedicated. Everyone else uses it anyway. I've used SL washington st. and it is very similar to the other MBTA busses. The silver line waterfront has its own bus tunnel however, and I believe that in the ted williams tunnel it uses its own lane too. The transition at SL way is slow because the bus has to raise/lower its trolley poles to change from electric/diesel.
