Adding a point that I can't fit into the original comment due to character counts: The NEC trip count of 18224 may be an overestimate, as many destinations, especially West Roxbury/Roslindale, assume trains stopping at Forest Hills. In practice, the commuter rail station doesn't have room for another platform. This may reduce NEC's usefulness significantly, as West Roxbury/Roslindale account for 10096 of the 18224 trips mentioned above. On the other hand, this may also present a stronger argument for an OL branch on paper, even though it's likely very unrealistic due to the exact same reasons that make quad-tracking Hyde Park a question mark.[Analysis of demand from Hyde Park]
Meanwhile, I really want to bring up this visualization again, outside of the spoiler tag. I'm probably biased, but damn, that's so cool.
I only picked up Tableau 2 hours ago for the sole purpose of creating this map, but I'll definitely look into using it to create more visualizations, ODX and otherwise. I should also be able to update the map to show the actual polygons instead of points.
