From MassDOT:
The MBTA is pleased to introduce the Better Bus Project.
Nearly 450,000 people in 50 communities rely on MBTA bus service every weekday. The goal of the Better Bus Project is to understand and analyze where our bus service is not meeting the standards set by the January 2017 Service Delivery Policy, and propose recommendations to improve service.
These recommendations will be developed through meaningful public engagement and municipal partnerships. Right now, we are meeting with riders at bus stops around the MBTA system to get their feedback about their experiences and suggestions for way to improve bus service.
Regional Public Meetings
We will also be hosting a series of Regional Public Meetings later this month and early June. The meetings will be structured as interactive, open-houses. Feel free to stop by anytime and at a convenient time and location and share your ideas! We want your input on:
- The top 3 things you want transit to do better.
- Your transit priorities.
- The single most important thing the MBTA could do to improve bus service in your area.

Look forward to hearing more about this. The bus has been the most reliable transit for my commute in the recent years of winter storms but it is frustrating to not see improvements with consistent stop times and shorter travel times. More buses during peak times are needed.
