I think you're thinking of the new MBTA bus running through downtown
Boston... but's it's spelled with an "F", not an "S".

	That's such a cool-sounding word that I just *had* to look it up --
	here's what "def succubus" says on my Unix box:

suc.cu.bus
(-b*s)
   i[pl]
suc.cu.bi (-.b{i-}, -.b{e-})
Etymology: ME, fr. ML, alter. of LL i[succuba] prostitute, fr. L [italic
   succubare] to lie under, fr. i[sub-] + i[cubare] to lie,
   recline -- more at HIP
   n, a demon assuming female form to have sexual intercourse with
   men in their sleep
syn. see incubus;

	Ooh, mama !

	-Arun
