Here a Stop, There a Stop, Everywhere a Stop Stop Stop...Except....

On the bus line I sometimes use, there are stops approximately every 75 yards.
This is kind of ridiculous, especially when you consider the fact that once the bus leaves the main road, and turns onto the MBTA owned and badly maintained access road, there are NONE.
So in a 1 mile trip, there are 5 stops for the first quarter mile or so, and then none for the remaining 3/4's of a mile.
What is wrong with these people?

Goes to show you the same people designed the bus routes as the Masspike and the commuter trains. People wonder why the pike is always clogged up when they have exits every half mile. The pike was NOT made to travel to the supermarket. There are plenty of local roads for that purpose. I just love the commuter trains stopping every couple of miles and seeing or two people getting on or off at a rush hour. How do they figure thats an express? Sheeshe...
