We at TM are trying to get the T to market it this way. Marketing it as "track work" is useless, but marketing it as "your trip will be 20 seconds faster" is something riders care about and can feel.

More from Dave Perry today. Apparently a station attendant told a little kid maybe this week: https://twitter.com/FramWorMBTA/status/1160232489895505921?s=20

Re: T construction news 1.) Architects do the rendering, not contractors. 2.) It's a rendering taken from Revit (that's a Revit sky) and then brought into Photoshop to have those ridiculous textures applied (because Revit renders concrete poorly without add-on software). The MBTA wayfinding...

Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End Renamed. Our new forum software and project database to come will handle thread/building naming better. Also, photo just now from S&F Concrete...

OMG there will actually be service for weeknight Revs games with this schedule!!! Inbound to Boston 9:50 PM 10:50 PM Outbound to Foxboro 5:03 PM 6:05 PM 6:30 PM 7:25 PM Seriously, it has taken me 2 hours to drive to Gillette for weeknight Revs games for 7/7:30 this season and with this...

Jay Monty (Everett Transpo Planner) said the goal is to have Everett BRT to Sullivan (local buses and SL3 extension) up and running in 5 years. Sullivan also has Regional Rail potential too.

I think this would be true if the casino were in the Back Bay, North Station or Seaport, but the casino is in Everett. It is not in Boston and everything about it feels like it's not in Boston, especially the location/access. Serious transit infrastructure upgrades need to happen immediately to...

Ouch: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4280678-wynns-new-massachusetts-casino-quite-win Very long piece analyzing each aspect.

I noticed that as well. From what I've heard, the APM within the next decade is a go, but I don't think they're ready to model it yet, as it is still in the earlier stages of design. Everything in this rendering has already been designed.

Well said.

What's even more fun is that the former Terminal D is now referred to as Pier A of Terminal C. Cool stuff. Dated 02/05, while the old Terminal A had already been demolished and the new Terminal A was under construction with a year left before opening.

T4MA and TM are partners. Regional Rail is one of the things we partner with them on. Dempsey of late is just preoccupied with his off peak tolling thing that I've got him to admit on Twitter won't really solve the region's mobility problems. This is actually what we are doing with our...

Our TM COO Jarred emphasized Regional Rail improvements/importance of a frequent modern rail system to run through the tunnel. And thanks for the kind words about us. Agreed though. The buzzword speeches are tiring and confusing and it seems like the NSRL advocates still don't seem to...

My understanding is island platforms would require rebuilding bridges.

Both from my personal/anecdotal sample. Some were looking for experience and others were gamblers who weren't really satisfied with what Encore was offering in terms of gaming. I think at least in my sample, the overlap between those two things is pretty strong; gamblers who also like some sort...

I haven't noticed the traffic jams we were seeing the first two weeks lately. I think things are cooling off and possibly because a lot of people have visited it and not been happy with the experience. I've heard from a number of people from this area that they are still going to travel to...

The estimating was done by a third party.

Agreed on the concern, but the T is using the delay to resolve fare policy/POP legal things at least. The AFC working group resumed meetings the other day and one of the things they discussed was amending the MA laws to allow for civilian enforcement and decriminalizing fare evasion. So at least...

The only "vision" is Alt 6. Anything other than Alt 6 for the Rail VISION study is a joke. From the beginning, they said the VISION would not be constrained by cost or time nor would it be a formal planning study, yet here they are constraining the VISION. The vision should be set at fully...

POST MOVE: Whigh's post about the budget has been moved to the general MBTA thread, as it encompassed things that were not about Regional Rail: http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=971
