It's normally one of the most reliable MBTA routes I know -- except this one driver who goes by at around 8am. He really, really does not like to stop at either Cameron Ave or the next stop by the park.
One time, after he blew by, I ran all the way to Davis with my (then 2-year-old) kid in the stroller, and as I got to Davis he had just closed the doors on his now-empty bus -- I knocked on them, and he looked at me, shook his head, and pulled away from the curb as the light turned green.
This reminds me of what I was told when I first moved to Boston: "You must understand: the purpose of the MBTA is to move trains and buses from one end of the line to the other. If people happen to get on at the stops in between, well, okay, but they better not get in the way of the primary mission of the system."
Many drivers are not like that, but some sure are!
