But these mobile festivals have also attracted the attention of law enforcement and community leaders who believe that buses are public nuisance that cannot be regulated like bars or cars.

Evans, head of the Boston Police Patrol Department, said he has been worried about buses for a while, and buses have surged in the city over the past decade.

Evans said police would park when they saw a clear violation.

The lack of supervision over these mobile entertainment carriers has created a dilemma for neighborhood leaders. Meg Mainzer-
Cohen, head of the Back Bay Association, said bar and restaurant owners welcomed the business brought by the bus when it stopped and their customers poured into the local bar.
But they don\'t always like to be on narrow streets nearby, especially in the early hours of the morning when bulky buses are idling and blocking traffic, especially since there is no control over the vehicles nearby.
