The Most Fucked Up Night of My Life
It is 4:42 a.m. I am here at SOLOPAD with Dan M. and Jason W. We spent 2 hours at some random girls' house, making pasta. It didn't go so well.
On the way back from Porter to Teele, saw this accident scene, guarded by State Police, which probably means that people died. Will update in the morning with fatality tally.
As we approached Teele, at 4:37 a.m., I made a comment to my people that the mythical and mysterious 89/93 bus would be coming at any moment. Sure enough, it did. Recall that this is a bizarre bus that is not on the MBTA schedule and purports to run from Clarendon Hill to Sullivan to Downtown Boston. We flagged down the driver and interrogated him.
This was, in fact, my first time seeing the 89/93 *not* from my apartment, but on foot. "Where are you guys trying to go," asked the driver, a full hour before the actual MBTA schedule would start. "We can take you anywhere you want to go." I pointed out that the 89/93 does not exist on any schedule, but seems to run every night. "They only have me doing this on Saturdays," said the driver, and piloted his empty and unknown bus into the night.
Dan snapped this photo of us talking to the 89/93 driver on his cell phone...
And that is that.

Hi, I got here because Universal Hub linked to you.
The mysterious 89/93 run is actually on the printed and PDF versions of the 89 and 93 schedules. For some reason it's not on the interactive web version.
I think its primary purpose is to deliver MBTA workers to places where they need to be in order to unlock subway stations and otherwise prepare for regular service. But I don't know that for sure.
