PSA for Commuters Through Harvard Square (buses)

[gnomi]

As of yesterday/this morning, there is construction going on in Harvard Square that affects bus routes. The advisory only lists the 66 as being affected, but I saw the 86 also taking an alternate route this morning, and I cannot imagine that they are the only buses being rerouted.

The bus driver on my 66 this morning said that the rerouting would be in effect for the next 8 weeks. From what I experienced this morning, my main advice is to leave extra time if possible.

I hope that your post effects prudent decision-making on the part of commuters.

(And now I can have my affect/effect glee for the day.)

I believe it would be effective for the T to effect more widespread propagation of information on how these changes will affect commuters. :-)

There were signs at the Dawes Island bus stop indicating that a couple of different buses would start at Brattle Street instead of there. I think the 66 was one of them.

I last took the 66 home on Tuesday, when I picked it up in front of the Kennedy School, so I was unaware of the rerouting. And they're not really starting at Brattle St., from what the driver said.
