70/70A (Cedarwood, North Waltham, or Central Square, Waltham – University Park via Central Square, Cambridge, Arsenal Street, and Western Ave)

70/70A (Cedarwood, North Waltham, or Central Square, Waltham – University Park via Central Square, Cambridge, Arsenal Street, and Western Ave)

I have a friend who once had to use the 67 for some reason or another. He told me that the bus only had a few old people on it. After that, I was sort of interested in taking this seemingly odd little route. Well, I did, and though the people who rode it weren’t...

94 (Medford Square – Davis Square Station via West Medford and Medford Hillside)

by Miles Taylor | Jul 5, 2015 | Miles on the MBTA

There was one time, a while ago, when I almost took the 94. It was a Sunday, and I was at Davis, all ready to go. Then I found out that the Red Line was running shuttle buses – crap. Then I found out there was a road race going on – double crap. Then I...
