The one time I took the 193 to Haymarket, I saw the early morning version of the 117 pull in, and it was packed to the gills, so they definitely need more early morning service.crzwdjkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394805356595604336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293100068373105830.post-3171077502593467872015-03-08T07:51:37.936-07:002015-03-08T07:51:37.936-07:00It would be a lot easier—and perhaps more cost-eff...It would be a lot easier—and perhaps more cost-effective—to run the Silver Line 24 hours a day, with perhaps an evening extension to Airport or Maverick to better serve Eastie. Even if buses ran every half hour downtown (which you'd need, what, two buses for?) it would be a huge improvement for East Boston residents, airport employees and—and this is from experience—late-arriving passengers who get to the airport to find long lines at cab stands, and no cabs.<br /><br />This is something that MassPort could (or should) pay for.Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058285362842737187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293100068373105830.post-59354058960292805192015-03-06T11:20:50.601-08:002015-03-06T11:20:50.601-08:00The whole idea of changing what time it is is pret...The whole idea of changing <i>what time it is</i> is pretty strange if you think about it, and the consequences can be somewhat bizarre, as you can see here.<br /><br />Also, I feel like there's one MBTA service that absolutely needs to run 24 hours a day: the Blue Line from Bowdoin to Airport, both to serve the airport, and to provide a link across the harbor, which is otherwise impossible to cross without a car during those hours.crzwdjkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394805356595604336noreply@blogger.com
