That bus is somewhat...
Inarticulate.
Can it spin the rear wheels and get the passengers to push the rear end sideways?
Students don't push buses.
Students don't push buses. If they did, they would be walking.
Amazing idea
How could anything possibly go wrong with that?
Surprising
the T has the sense to take the articulated busses out of service when the snow comes down for just this reason. (or course the T doesn't add additional busses to make up for the lost capacity, but that's another gripe...)
Silver Line buses barely make turns in the best conditions
Curb extensions reduce clearance to inches with no snow.
