    Please contact your local representative - the MBTA is proposing to cut this route in the next round (2012). Help us save the 501!

    When I first booked this bus, I was a little nervous because it was cheaper than Peter Pan, and…read moreusually the cheaper options aren't always the best. But honestly, my experience was amazing. I'm 19 years old and was traveling alone from Philly to Hyannis, and I'm still not very confident with traveling on my own. What really made this experience so good was the driver. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and kind, but the driver especially stood out. He was a bald man with glasses and a big beard, and he was genuinely one of the sweetest and most caring people I've met while traveling. He was patient with everyone, calm, respectful, and made sure people were okay throughout the ride. That kind of hospitality is honestly hard to find nowadays. Usually traveling stresses me out a lot, but for the first time I actually felt relaxed and comfortable during the trip. He made the whole experience feel safe and easy, and I'm really thankful for that. So thank you again to him and the company for such a great experience.

    We have been usingP&B for probably 10 years.\nWe fly with our 8LB papillon dog. All of a sudden,…read morethey would not let us take the dog on the bus.\n The driver was very rude, left stranded at louggin airport 730 at night. I am 78 years old. My wife is 77, the driver did not care at all. He said if we didn't like it call the office.\n He said, my name is Bob. What a jerk. And yes, we had tickets. I will never useP&B EVER AGAIN.PS NOT ALL THE DRIVERS LIKE HIM. MOST OF THEM, A VERY FRIENDLY AND NICE TO YOU, BUT NOT BOB.

    F you, 86. You are…read morethe worst bus line ever. You come infrequently-- only every 30 minutes in off-peak hours, and every 45-60 on the weekends. You are irregular, sometimes showing up, sometimes not. You never know what's in that damn pinata. You've made me walk from Union Square to Harvard in desperation more times than is appropriate, and that's a long damn walk. Your inexcusable infrequency and constant tardiness are made that much more miserable given that you are one of Union Square residents' only modes of public transport. Even though you can't be a real Line, or even a fake Line a la Silver, you could at least be a better damn bus. I would like to ask for an upgrade to the double-decker buses with nice seating options like the 73 but I wouldn't dare. I've heard you're no better on the other end of your route. I once saw you in Allston and I freaked out. You need to shorten your route or add more buses. Or both. Or, you could die, and we could all hope you would be reborn a Phoenix in any of the forms I listed above. You get a pity star just for existing, but that's it. I am so fed up with you.

    As far as exercises in pure undiluted exasperation go, waiting for the eternally tardy 86 is a…read morenearly zenlike experience. It's frustration frustrated, and then raised to the frustrated-th degree. Godot is more punctual than you, Bus Route 86. And yet, I cannot give you a withering 1 star review, if only because you do spare me the horrorshow that is the claustrophobic crawl of the 70. Going up one stop to Harvard and waiting 45 minutes for a bus which may or may not ever come is totally worth the extra time, compared to hellride that awaits in Central. Plus, it has helped me immeasurably hone my patience to something approaching godly. And plus, it affords me a good number of LOLz doing some observational work on Hipsters waiting for the 66 at the same bus stop, without having to actually get on the 66 with them. Bus Route 86: you do not fail at life, but only barely...
