My suspicion has always been that this must be somewhat intentional. That somehow this part of Dorchester pushed back against the T at some point long ago (this is my complete guess)

We've been actively fighting FOR the T. We've had discussions with the city about it.

Currently it looks like we're caught in a catch-22 situation that's causing a downward spiral.

Something happened and the schedule changed, got cut back a little but. There was less ridership. Schedule got cut back more cause there was less ridership. Less people took the T cause the schedule changed. Schedule got cut back more cause less people took the T. Ad nauseum forever.

Some grad student at UMB who lived in the neighborhood did a whole study on it and submitted it to the T. The T came out and did interviews about the problem.

NOTHING CHANGED.
