MBTA Bus Route 90

The 90 bus runs very circuitously between Wellington, Assembly, Sullivan, gets within a Stone’s throw of Union Square, and then to Davis Square in Somerville. Therefore it is useful if you want to go to most of those places. However it is not very useful if you want to go to Wellington since it takes forever to get through the intersection of 16 and 28 in Medford and it is easy to take the orange line from Sullivan to Wellington. It is not clear to me why the bus runs to Wellington rather than stopping at Assembly Square, it seems like a total waste of time.
The bus has fairly low ridership — and runs extremely infrequently compared to other MBTA bus routes in the area. Despite this the 90 bus occasionally can be somewhat crowded, though never packed.

TWICE now, this bus has driven right past me right as I was waiting at the stop. I have been late for work because of this. It wasn’t an express bus. I was at the correct stop and I’ve actually taken this bus before. The driver who is doing this should be fired immediately.

The 90 runs between Davis and Wellington and stops at Assembly Sq and at the end of my street.
As my fellow Unilocaler Jake M. said, it’s a great back-​up plan when betrayed by the 88. (See my review of the 88. This happens often)
It doesn’t run very often, or very late, but other than that, the service is pretty solid.
