As you may know, The MBTA is currently working on the Bus Network Redesign, a project to transform the bus experience for those who depend on it most. We want to create a better and more equitable bus network — to do that, we need your input! This week, the MBTA launched an online survey in support of the project. The survey is focused on answering two key questions:

• Does the MBTA take you where you need or want to go?
• When you need to get somewhere, is riding the MBTA a good option for you?

The survey is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and is also available in a fully accessible format here on the MBTA website.
