To what extent - and how - will Chelsea riders use this service? Connect to downtown via the Blue Line, for example? Is this more convenient for the majority of Chelsites than the existing bus service?
Some will xfer at Airport to Blue, but the key is that this is now connects Chelsea to the Red Line/South Station area in addition to the new job center in the Seaport.
Heck, it connects Chelsea to the Airport itself - a connection we never had previously requiring long circuitous routes on buses & the BL or walking great distances despite the airport being literally next to us.
SLG will not stop at the Airport itself, but rather the Airport BL station.
I feel like this has slipped under the radar, particularly when compared to the attention that the GLX gets. Though, I suppose thats a good thing. I'm ambivalent about the SL in general, but I must say the dedicated busway looks pretty sharp.

Somewhere in crazy transit pitches, I think it is, is F Lines extensive claims that tunnels here are a no go because it's all filled land. Not saying he's right but this has been debated there a lot already.
