We were standing right next to the Silver Line sign. And yes, the bus was definitely in service.

I know what their point is. I just don't agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with people asking individual questions. You can't get all of your queries answered via FAQs, which is why people ask for personal experiences. I've already received some responses that I found very informative that I wouldn't have found via Google.
You can disagree with me, I don't care. I don't think there's anything wrong with people using a social community to connect socially and ask questions. And I maintain that a person who doesn't want to respond should just not respond instead of choosing rudeness.
Telling everyone to just Google shit has contributed to social dysfunction on a global level, IMO. But that's a broader discussion.

Yes! We use a combination of GTFS feeds, public MBTA apis, and data the mbta gives us itself. But it is only ever arrival and departure times. We have no insight into speeds of specific track segments between two stops

Not sure but it’s outrageous, I’d call the mayor’s office

Were you standing in the silver line pick up area? They only stop at designated locations

I ran it with remote start this morning for 20 minutes and it still wouldn't budge when trying to do it by hand. I accidentally found out that hitting the gas at a stop sign will do the trick though.

I've never seen any actually ride. Definitely bodies inside the station sometimes though. Most of the time chilling in their running SUV's

They babysit homeless people and that’s just about it.

If we’re adding car features, just add a defroster to the roof

But I'm selfish and self centered why should I care how things affect other people? This is sarcasm by the way. I cannot stand when drivers won't take 2 more minutes to brush the top of their car.

I do this when it's 32 degrees. I'm a lot less likely to do it when it's 22 or 12.

Had this happen before to reduce bunching, basically skips one of the 2 B stops in favor of making up time. The driver at least waved to me though
