I don't think anyone was arguing otherwise. A combination involving Washington Street and Mass Ave or 93 is the most likely route for north-south truck traffic. At any rate, I am sure they devise delivery routes so as to maximize the usage of the most truck-friendly roads, so you probably...

^ The other alternative is to switch out massive 18-wheelers for smaller trucks to make local deliveries.

Why not push the ring further out and leave the "easier" pieces to become parts of different crosstown lines instead? System view: Zoomed view: Five lines (Red, Orange, Blue, Aqua, Indigo and Black) are HRT. The rest (Green, Yellow, Pink, Silver and Brown) are LRT.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I thought I was the only one, too! Sometimes if it's out of tune enough, it reminds me a bit of Paris' sound: SkmllqxapBs Speaking of the details... I would really like to see them adopt a uniform rolling stock livery across all four lines. Painting...

I'm very confused. The construction is east of the toll plaza but you're talking about traffic headed away from the city? We're talking about the reduction of an auxiliary lane. It's really not the end of the world.

Most of the morning congestion on the Pike east of the Allston tolls seems to be directly connected to the poor design/ramp geometry of the 90/93 interchange and congestion on 93 itself. They're still maintaining three through lanes, so I don't think it'll be any sort of carmageddon since the...

^ If the traffic would really exist, connect the two via a pedestrian tunnel with moving walkways. Plenty of examples of this in other cities.

Stalled since 2012 pending additional funding. From the project page:

I lived in the area for over a year and used Chiswick on a daily basis. The only reason it's still there is your second point: they vote. But it also doesn't make much of a difference at all since it's so close to the end of the line.

^ This (can't remember how many near-misses I saw at the Linden stop sign) and also because the operators come barreling down the hills at excessive speeds between Washington/Warren (eastbound) and Washington/Sutherland (both directions)?

I'm not sure Delta would have a markedly different response if JetBlue started ATL or MSP compared to when they started DTW. Delta certainly wouldn't even bat an eye if they started Cincinnati. Delta will always own ATL, MSP and DTW point of sale, but JetBlue in BOS is a force to be reckoned...

Not that I necessarily agree with pursuing a Cabot Yard proposal, but I'm not sure you could find any undeveloped/underdeveloped tract of land with as prime of a location. We're talking about an area that is walking distance from all of the amenities in Downtown/South End/South Boston...

That is all true, but you missed the most obvious: the value proposition of spending $173/month for a Zone 1 CR pass + $4/day parking just isn't there. Why spend all that money when there's the much cheaper (and usually just as timely) combination of local buses and Orange Line service from...

I know you're kidding, but I'd really like to see them try to make that argument. :) The lot has, on average, 79% availability... so the 90+ spots in the back lot can handle the current demand 3x over.

Easy enough: turn the CR parking lot off of Belgrade into the busway and redevelop the other parking lot into a parking garage as necessary. We'd be talking about losing less than 50 spots.

One of the main reasons? I'm not so easily convinced. To be sure, they happen, but there's no doubt the primary function is bus-to-OL and the reverse. The people who live between the Square and Forest Hills wouldn't lose that connectivity, either. It's the people who live beyond Roslindale...

The station distance isn't that great that it would result in any material operational efficiencies.

Maybe I am missing something, but Park Street-Aquarium is basically the same distance as South Station-Aquarium... why wouldn't you continue taking the D to Park and walk (or D to Park and C/E to Haymarket for a shorter walk), and save yourself at least $103 a month?

I believe I read when they were proposing the shutdown versus keeping the station open that the timeline was three years if the station remained open, two years if it were closed. The MBTA never explained why we're only able to save a third of the time with the closure. Two years still seems...

Carrying this over from the GLX thread... That is exactly my point - these vehicles are going to be the outliers for quite some time. If less than 10 percent of the whole fleet is Type 9s, it isn't the vast overhaul in ridding the Green Line of old, rusty equipment that the media appears to...
