Where, O where is the #61 Bus?

K is stranded in Charles Village waiting for a bus. And it's about to rain.

The bus was supposed to arrive at her stop at about 3:20, she called me at 3:30 to vent, and the bus still hadn't shown up by 3:40 when she hung up.

Oh, and she has a tutoring appointment at 3:30. Or had.

So the MTA may have just cost us quite a bit of money.

And she's had to deal with a particularly rude driver more than once on this route, when she's actually able to catch the bus.

The #61 bus is one of those lines the MTA wants to terminate. They say there aren't enough passengers to justify running it. Is it possible there aren't enough passengers because of the terrible service? After all, the bus only runs about every 20 to 30 minutes, except during rush hour, and it can't even stick to that already inconvenient schedule.

It's almost as if the MTA wants to alienate riders and potential riders so they can shut it down. It's really too bad, because the buses are actually nice enough once you get on.

Well, I guess it won't be our problem for much longer ...
