There's this hole around port norfolk/Pope's Hill in Dorchester.

It's like, a mile to north Quincy, a mile to Ashmont, a mile to Shawmut, a mile to fields corner. It's so stupid.

The 201/202 is a bus that loops from fields corner, one that loops going Adams St first, and one that loops going Neponset first, so they go in different directions. But the neponeset one stops at 6pm. And after that the Adams bus runs once an hour. And that's if the bus shows up in the first place, cause there's times on schedule the bus never shows.

The 210 is supposed to run from Quincy to fields corner. But it can turn around at any random Quincy station. Weekends it doesn't go to Quincy. And it stops running early.

These bus run so sporadically. They don't come often. Most people gave up and walk to a station, keep an eye out for a passing bus on the way, and a bus never shows.

While 'technically' a bus runs into the neighborhood, it feels like it's only a technicality at this point. They run the midday busses for the kids getting out of 3 elementary schools, and that's their concern.

I have been known to drive to north Quincy and park there so I can drive home - cause after 6pm fuck getting a bus home.

Do I want to walk a mile thru Dorchester after dark alone? Not particularly. Do I want to wait an hour for a bus? Not particularly.
