Bus Schedule confusion regarding HonkFest/Octoberfest

[chenoameg.livejournal.com]

We're trying to figure out taking the bus from around Davis Square to Arlington Center tomorrow. (getting there by 1pm). Usually the 77 would be our Sunday choice, but there's this parade tomorrow.

The MBTA website says the following confusing thing:
Route 77 will omit stops between Alewife Station and Ringe Ave. connections can be made at Alewife Station.

Any idea what the 77 will actually be doing tomorrow?

The 77 doesn't normally go to Alewife... I'm really confused as to what that means.

Regardless, walk to Powderhouse and take the 80 to Arlington center.

Yes, that's what confused me, too.

Thank you, that's a very helpful suggestion!

At a guess, they meant Rt 16, not alewife.
(essentially, the 79 route).

On the other hand, it isn't particularly easy to get from Alewife to Rindge due to a no-left-turn, so who knows.

My guess (emphasis on guess, I have no special knowledge) is that they'll be running essentially the "79" route and encouraging people to take the train in from Alewife.
