The Codcast this week is an MBTA twofer: James Aloisi and Josh Fairchild of TransitMatters make a pitch for an overnight bus service pilot and also interview Matthew Casale, a staff attorney from MassPIRG, about the accuracy of a reliability indicator the T is using.

TransitMatters, along with the communities of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Chelsea, and Revere, has been pushing overnight bus service for some time. The latest iteration of their proposal, bus routes running from Revere into Boston and from Mattapan into Boston every half hour, ran into headwinds at a meeting of the T’s Fiscal and Management Control Board on Monday. Board members thought the subsidy, at $27 per passenger ($22 excluding fixed costs), was way too high and urged more work on the proposal.
