Somehow I forgot about the 47, sorry about that. I think part of the problem with the 47 is that it runs on streets which are in theory major thoroughfares, but are in fact pretty basic residential streets (Brookline, Pearl). I see your point about running BRTs through what are essentially very small residential streets, although I think River and Magazine could both handle bus traffic without too much trouble. The 64, running on Western and Magazine mostly, seems to be a bit better in that regard.

The CT1 runs on Mass. Ave., so did you mean to say the CT2?

I almost think the solution for Cambridgeport would be some smaller-than-a-bus type of vehicle - like maybe a 15-passenger van, or something like that? - that still had a regular schedule, regular stops, etc. I'm not too sure Cantabridgians would be thrilled with riding in such close quarters with one another, but those things would be a lot cheaper and more flexible than buses, and they'd be able to get through Cambridgeport streets easily. Of course, I'm not sure whether you could call such a vehicle mass transit.
