    All 56/57 buses from 6:40-7:30 have been cancelled. I need to figure out how to get to work.

      56/57 are always the first to get cut. That’s what pushed me into biking to work. It got so old standing out there in the dark and rain waiting 15, 30, up to 45 minutes for buses that are “on time” but not actually in service.

      Same with the afternoon commute. I am seriously think of working remotely until these mechanical issues are resolved. Unreliable bus service is more than an inconvenience for me. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
