The Watertown Faces Climate Change Group noted that Transit Matters found that the 70 bus had one of the worst reliability records in 2024 and awarded the route one of its Pokey/Schleppy awards for the ten worst performing bus routes in the entire MBTA bus system.
“Improvement will require technological an operational changes and trade-offs, so your voice is needed,” the Watertown Faces Climate Change statement said.
