BOSTON — The 55 bus would typically be making stops along Boston’s Fenway neighborhood — but not anymore. The MBTA cut the 55 bus route, along with eight others and 20% of T service to make ends meet during the coronavirus pandemic.

On Sunday night, dozens held a rally to show support for the 55 bus route.

College students and senior citizens alike told WBZ-TV they are protesting because the route is a critical service and want service reinstated.
