Ready to ride the 111 bus to Chelsea with @streetsboston. Too many communities experience delays and unreliable transit options that further entrench existing inequalities. #TransitMatters #ChangeCantWait 
Today, our campaign released the transportation plan of our equity agenda to tackle this and so many other issues relating to inequality in access to high-quality and reliable transit. Check it out here! ayannapressley.com/issues/equity-…
The 111 bus has the 3rd highest ridership of any line in the MBTA system, carrying nearly 12,000 riders per day. Of those riders, 63% are people of color, and 46% don’t have access to a drivers license. It travels 2.7 miles and can take up to 45 minutes.
This sort of unreliability is incredibly destabilizing for students trying to get to school, workers trying to get to a job that they could lose if they’re late, and for parents getting home to spend time with their families.
Congestion and traffic affects cars, but we need to examine and think about how it affects buses as well.
