It's in the B-C connector. That's a JetBlue flight number so I'm guessing it has Terminal C listed there because that's where JetBlue check-in would be. If it just said Gate B40, people might inadvertently go to Terminal B, and not be able to check in and check baggage. So it actually does make...

It's a shame Government Center doesn't have a loop with a convenient cross-platform transfer that could be used to help deal with some of the crowding that results. I was at GC this afternoon (before rush hour) and the first train that came in (probably five or so minutes max after the one I'd...

That red diagram was an embedded image, and all the stuff on top of it was separate layers, which made it a lot easier than I thought it would be to pull it out in Illustrator. No idea why that was done like that, but I'm glad it was.

The PDF linked by @stick n move had an excellent diagram of that area of old Haymarket, buried under a bunch of layers. I've rotated it to approximately match the orientation of the 3D version.

Trying to access that when it's busy (on the inbound side) would be pretty awkward. Copley's platform isn't super wide. (Though T riders are likely familiar with the awkwardness of single access points at platform ends.)

Is Metro finally back to automatic operation? They'd basically completely abandoned that after the 2009 crash.

Yeah, eastbound is interchangeable with northbound at GC. I think they still use eastbound/westbound as railroad directions operationally (which makes sense), even if the wayfinding signage at GC now says "North Station & North" on that side. There isn't room for that without taking the roof...

I think this design is physically impossible, and, if not, so wildly impractical that it makes no difference. Extending the old-alignment half of the Brattle Loop to connect to the Park Street end means plowing through, at minimum, the current Blue Line elevators and the stairs from the...

Emergency exit at the north end of Medford/Tufts.

That's a good question. I seem to recall an incident (though probably a good 15+ years ago) where a passenger fell asleep on a GL train, wasn't noticed, and woke up with the train parked in Riverside yard, so it does seem like they don't always make sure everyone is completely off the trains...

They were definitely referring to SL Phase III (they mentioned one-seat rides from Roxbury to the Seaport/Airport as a project benefit). One imagines no one there knows just why that (indeed terrible) project died (or the reasons Washington St. transit and the Seaport service were...

Uh...is there a serious transit deficiency this would alleviate? There's been much discussion around here of various pitches to address Everett's transit needs (and occasionally Charlestown's). I have to say, I fail to see what would be particularly useful or helpful about a LRT line...

To be clear, my comment was about Government Center, and I think the elevator thing there was a state requirement, not necessarily federal ADA. I don't know if similar reasons are why Medford/Tufts' emergency exit wasn't made a full headhouse. I know in one of Baker & Company's value...

Yes My understanding is that they would have had to install elevators, which was presumably deemed excessive for a secondary entrance.

One hopes so...

Kinda. It's not really a partisan thing. (It's really more a structural thing with how the state House works, in that the Republicans have no power and the Democrats have no spine, so if the speaker of the day doesn't care, nothing gets done. But "blaming the governor" is more intuitive than...

Neither. The T is - viscerally - broken. Most people don't really care who's fault that is, they just want it fixed. It's not a Healey thing or a partisan thing, she just happens to be the incumbent at a time when things are bad. (Same as how presidents get blamed for bad economies even if it...

That...would really explain that annoying delay at the rental car center. It would certainly make a twisted kind of sense...not that having all the Blue Line shuttles also serve the RCC makes much sense.

Makes me wonder if the restrictions are in case of a runaway/rollback brake failure, or more "we don't trust the operators" on such a steep section without some external stop system, 'cause if it's the second one, that one's fixable.
