The other stop on 11th Street was too congested when several of the intercity buses would line up on a stop-over or to board. They sometimes blocked a Metrobus stop, forcing Metrobus riders to board in traffic and breathe idling bus fumes. It seems like a fine compromise to move a block over.</p> http://dcist.com/2008/12/23/boltbus_megabus_move_to_new_stop.php#comment-1549717 http://dcist.com/2008/12/23/boltbus_megabus_move_to_new_stop.php#comment-1549717 Comments Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:43:59 -0500 <p>I noticed this change last night when walking to the MLK library. I was confused because there are always dozens of homeless men loitering in front of the library, but last night, there were lots of well dressed homeless people. I eventually noticed an idling Bolt bus, and realized that the well dressed people were actually waiting for the bus. Congratulations bus companies, now your patrons get to wait around with the people trying to get into the shelter!!!!! Only in DC...</p>
