The idea
Replace 57 Bus with green line trolley
Who it helps and why
the 57 bus line serves many minority groups who live on the outskirts of Boston. Because it is a bus line that is frequently affected b y traffic, it can take someone more than an hour to reach East Boston, where they work. By replacing the bus with a train (what it had originally, the Green A line), we would promote social and racial equality.
