T bus in the bike lane?!?! 3,
T bus in the bike lane?!?! 3, 2, 1.....
It was crossing the bike lane
It was crossing the bike lane pulling out of a bus stop.
I can see that thanks.
I can see that thanks.
The T bus is permitted to cross there for the stop
HOWEVER there are drivers driving down the entire length of that lane at every rush hour. This has been reported for two years.
Citizens connect now has BPD go out at 9pm and say "nobody parked there - all clear"
They know damn well the problem is NOT PARKING but DRIVING.
This contributed to this accident - I witnessed it. The car was trying to dive into the bike lane.
I didn't see the accident
But people driving down the bike lane and darting around and in front of the buses is a real problem in this area at rush hour. It would be better if it was a bus/bike lane, but the real problem is the fundamental lack of enforcement. They need to at least put some bollards into the non-bus stop area to keep the jerks out.
Something like this would be really fun to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJlsv2ZSIYE
The fake trolley buses are the worst - they actually honk at and intimidate cyclists trying to use it as intended.
Also, some cities have gone to a "bus pulling out has the right of way" rule. Perhaps Boston should too?
That would be a great law, yes
But I worry that not writing tickets for that would cut into the valuable time local cops spend not writing tickets for texting and driving, and parking in bus stops, and running red lights, and ignoring crosswalks, and...
Also, some cities have gone
How would we tell the difference?

Yay adam!
But you should note that this only applies to fermions.
So all we need are vehicles made of bosons and we're all set.
Did somebody mention bostons?
Like the infamous Higgs Boston particle? That might explain some things ...
The Hub is the center of the universe
So why shouldn't the Higgs Boston, aka, Gawd particle, be found here?
We're all fermions on this
We're all fermions on this bus?
I'd put my money on
the bus pulling out from the stop with 0 regard to traffic coming behind it.
How much to you want to bet?

The farm.
After seeing someone almost get clipped by a 57 pulling out of the station in Kenmore AGAIN on my way to work today, I'm pretty confident in my assertion.
