davis_squareDoes anyone know whether there is a process by which one can request a shelter to be erected at a particular bus stop? Is this something one would do through the city, or through the MBTA? I could not find any specific info on this topic at mbta.com.
Possibly this would be a futile exercise, but I'd like to give it a try anyway. In case anyone cares, the bus stop in question is at the corner of Highland Ave and Central Street, on what I guess you'd call the northwest corner, next to the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot. There's no shelter at that bus stop whatsoever, and it is not a fun place to stand when the weather is cold and/or wet. Like, uh, say, this morning when I waited almost half an hour for the 88.
Also, whose bright idea was it to make all the bus-stop benches out of metal, so that anyone dumb enough to sit on such a bench in cold weather will almost literally freeze their butt off? You don't have to answer this one; it's rhetorical. ;)
