Please contact your local representative - the MBTA is proposing to cut this route in the next round (2012). Help us save the 501!

God help me, I got on this line to go home from Kirkland after being verbally abused by an 83…read moredriver at Beacon and Park and being too mortified to get on the 83 again in case he showed up to scream at me again! And I still had to catch the 70 anyway, so...six of one, half dozen of the other. Not too bad--it was on time-ish, and at 6:00 pm there were plenty of places to sit. I grew up in Pittsburgh, the capital city of absurd nonsensical bus schedules, so the utter weirdness of it all doesn't bother me too much, I guess? I was happy about my narrow escape from the 83...until I stopped paying attention to my surroundings and ended up having to walk all the way down the Birmingham Parkway to Western, kicking myself for trying to mix my commute up.

F you, 86. You are…read morethe worst bus line ever. You come infrequently-- only every 30 minutes in off-peak hours, and every 45-60 on the weekends. You are irregular, sometimes showing up, sometimes not. You never know what's in that damn pinata. You've made me walk from Union Square to Harvard in desperation more times than is appropriate, and that's a long damn walk. Your inexcusable infrequency and constant tardiness are made that much more miserable given that you are one of Union Square residents' only modes of public transport. Even though you can't be a real Line, or even a fake Line a la Silver, you could at least be a better damn bus. I would like to ask for an upgrade to the double-decker buses with nice seating options like the 73 but I wouldn't dare. I've heard you're no better on the other end of your route. I once saw you in Allston and I freaked out. You need to shorten your route or add more buses. Or both. Or, you could die, and we could all hope you would be reborn a Phoenix in any of the forms I listed above. You get a pity star just for existing, but that's it. I am so fed up with you.
