About this episode

Why give buses their own lane, and what does that mean for everyone else on the road? On this episode of Spilling the T, MBTA Director of Transit Priority Alex Hallowell joins us to discuss how bus lanes can improve the way we move through our communities. We discuss plans for Blue Hill Avenue and the Lynnway, lessons learned from Columbus Avenue, concerns about traffic and parking, how community feedback shapes these projects, and much more.
