I'd imagine that the APM would eliminate the need for a number of the existing buses, which as we all know are free to use. Getting rid of those buses would represent some major financial savings which would offset the cost of the APM, allowing the APM to potentially be free as well.

Same here.

Absolutely. The merits of the Big Dig took a while to fully come to light. Make no mistake, it had its drawbacks: The cost overruns, the malfeasance, the cost cutting that really wasn't worth it. Plus, the growing pains of trying out brand new construction methods on a large scale. But given...

I'm still trying to make sense of this. The whole point of grounding the Pike was in part to minimize maintenance concerns with regard to a viaduct. But now we're creating a new viaduct (granted it's decidedly narrower) that will require some amount of additional maintenance over a side by side...

So, I go downstairs to use the new tunnel last night after the game. Fortunately, the concourse and tunnel weren't too crowded. Which was good, since the escalator on the Garden side wasn't working. As for the end of the tunnel at the turnstiles - well, that was a total cluster. Made all the...

I'll be at the Bruins game tonight. I figure I'll be at NS around 6:00 pm. Let's see how this goes.

The big thing? Southwest started flying from Logan with competitive pricing to what they offered from MHT.

I'm taking a trip to Cleveland in June. Unfortunately, Delta hasn't loaded the directs into their reservation system yet.

Just saw this tweet this afternoon. Type 9 testing at Riverside. https://twitter.com/TheKing0925/status/1072234869441343488

Here's what Bruins season ticket holders were emailed this morning: https://www.tdgarden.com/news/detail/legendary/ Couldn't find anything on Boston Planning & Redevelopment's website about these latest changes.

It's like everyone here forgot how lousy the old tunnel from the Garden side headhouse to the fare gates was. The peristent leaks, the stacks of newspapers that were left to become soggy messes. The industrial fans outside the T booth that always got in the way of crowds trying to get around...

Bruins sent this out to season ticket holders today: https://www.tdgarden.com/plan-your-visit?elqTrackId=acf8ea81b8404fc7b94a332709edf31b&elq=8e4c62c272d344039222f27aef8fcc75&elqaid=2907&elqat=1&elqCampaignId=2183

Wasn't as of Saturday night.

Without going way off the track here, I get exactly what F-Line is saying. That article had a very heavy bent on the whole "Millennials leading the way, everyone else is taking a back seat" angle. Reading his comments, he has nothing but praise for TM and everyone involved. His critique was...

That temporary setup utilizing the central garage is going to be an absolute nightmare. I give them credit for coming up with the idea - in theory it's a novel solution. But in reality, given the capacity issues of the garage to begin with and the fact that JetBlue is the major carrier at Logan...

Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Because that would accomplish nothing. After years of making compromises just to locate teams in stadia of their own by building them in suburbs/non-centralized city locations (Chicago/Bridgeview, Colorado/DSG Park, Columbus/Fairgrounds...

The tunnel used to be the major pinch point before the fare gates. But if you remember the old head house, it had two escalators, an elevator and a double wide set of stairs to get you down to the tunnel. And it would overcrowd. Now, you're moving the same amount of people to a much smaller...

Is anyone else wondering how woefully undersized that MBTA access vestibule is? One set of stairs, one escalator and one elevator to process a crowd before and after an event (plus normal rush hour commuters)? Yes, people are used to exiting the garden and crossing over Causeway Street, but if...
