This is a part of a bigger map (ignore the transit lines right now) I'm working on but an idea I had that was for limited stop suburban cross-town bus routes, making it so you could have a one-seat ride between outlying cities and towns in the boston area (West Newton/Riverside, MElrose...

Here's an idea: 1. Take every new TOD sprouting up (I'm looking at you, Atmark apartments), and make half of it affordable housing. From the P to the Rindge Towers I've seen too many former high school classmates pushed out of Cambridge with their families, due to increasing living expenses and...

added 2 new bus routes "63" from Lechmere to Kenmore, branching off from the 61 route at river st and western ave, to central sq, running along Prospect St and Broadway to Kendall/MIT, and then down Third st in to Lechmere Station and the Cambridgeside Galleria, also creating a Lechmere -...

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zHBKbWS6THfI.k_4BCN1stuT8 Bus Route (numbered it 61 because there's no route with that number) from Harvard to Kenmore serving the Cambridgeport and Riverside neighborhoods, with a route to Fenway Park on game days. This way you get a bus line down...

Here's my ideas as stated before, w/ working link this time https://mapsengine.google.com/map/u/0/edit?mid=zHBKbWS6THfI.kAbqEnxMW1JQ

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/u/0/embed?mid=zHBKbWS6THfI.kAbqEnxMW1JQ 3 separate ideas for airport transit. 1. Light rail ring (least direct route) 2. Blue Line (most direct route+extensions) 3. Orange Line spur from north Station

underground river?!?

Idea: making an underground walkway to transfer between Green and Orange lines at Symphony and Mass Ave stations. and rename "Mass Ave" Orange Line after like a composer of symphonies (but one that's easy to pronounce like Stravinsky)

I'm sure we've discussed this before but can we get articulated buses on at least the 1? I had to take the 1 a few times yesterday and each time, upon leaving Harvard sq, the bus was half-full. and upon leaving Central sq, not really any standing space available. Consequently The MIT stop was a...

What if we triple-tracked the Red Line? Have 2 southbound tracks for the Ashmont and Braintree Lines and 1 Northbound track for all alewife trains. As I am typing this I am realizing that actually might be a completely ridiculous idea and it would also mean rebuilding most of the red line...

I had an idea: Segmented Red Line Routes. I think this would reduce the travel times on the braintree branch A Ashmont-Alewife (Unchanged) B Braintree - South Station (or Charles/MGH? somehow room would be made on the Longfellow Bridge renovation for a pocket track) C Alewife - South Station

I would love a one-seat ride bus from North Cambridge to Symphony station so I could get to my music lessons more painlessly. but I cannot speak for everyone.

Red Line re-alignment: ashmont and braintree branches modified and merged (some dorchester stations move a block or two). everything after Broadway station to Ashmont would be buried under Dot Ave; the fairmount branch would branch off and continue underground, surfacing at a portal at...

If you're going for 2114 on this timescale, the Blue Line still won't yet be connected to the red at MGH...

"The MBTA, in 3014" (not a typo) Happy new years! https://mapsengine.google.com/map/u/0/edit?mid=zHBKbWS6THfI.kxSpnAUEdxzI Most of it is pretty self-explanatory, but there are some odd things - Brown lines: High speed lines. Mattapan HSL was expanded to Quincy, - dark green lines: they're...

I see your point! Maybe if they announced "Russell Field, red line and bus connection" or something at russell field and maybe even put up a small sign near the bus shelter pointing people in the right direction to the train and other buses. The school route for the 83 runs right as school lets...

I want to change the 83 bus a bit. Blue: Current route Solid Red: Fresh pond extension. The 83 cannot terminate at Alewife as left turns onto Rindge Avenue from Route 2 are impossible/illegal. Also, Fresh pond is rather transit-isolated for a mall. The bus would loop around Terminal rd...

Oh hi, I'm quite new here. like this-is-the-first-post-i've-made new. If I may share my "Crazy transit pitch"/ Lines: - The Red Line to Ashmont (and only ashmont), extended from Alewife to Bedford Depot or Hanscom AFB in a tunnel under the minuteman bikeway, hitting all the former B&M...
