87 bus

If anyone else is tired of the 7:52am 87 bus going sailing past the last ~ 6-8 stops before Davis Sq., please call the MBTA to complain. We call often, but we're only 2 voices. Seriously, it's not always possible to walk to Davis with 2 kids and snow and when you need the 87 to get further than Davis, you need the 87! (617)222-3200 or 800-392-6100. Thanks.

This is not a traffic issue.

I watch the bus arrive going westbound on Broadway at around 9:35AM with traffic passing by at the rate of maybe 5-10 cars a minute. At this point the bus is out of service, it is most likely the first run of the day.

The bus then reappears after its turnaround at the Clarendon Hill bus-way about 2 minutes later. Always the same driver, always with coffee in hand. Always driving leisurely the rest of the route to Lechmere.

I don't really care when the weather is fine. When it is not, I do.

Not just that driver on Sundays; maybe a T tradition ...

It's been my experience, from riding 88, 87, and other buses around here on Sundays for years, that Sunday is pretty much a free-for-all in terms of schedule adherence.

The T must just be so random. We took the 88 every Sunday for a couple years and it was almost always exactly on time.
