If it wasnt for that stupid E branch, it would be a really interesting idea to take the blue extension in the riverbank and flip it with the green line, so that blue goes south to park at govt center and green goes west to MGH...

What if they ran silver line through dedicated guideways along the greenway, running from north station to south station, then tunnelling under to connect with the current silver line. Would make it a two seat ride to the airport, and would solve the north/south connector for relatively cheap...

Thats a pretty awesome idea, how much would that probobly cost though? Also have any of these come up in official documentation before? The 4 track green would solve so many problems that its a no brainer. (Kind of like N/S link. a great idea but probobly super expensive)

Oh and maybe add another stop in there near the center and build an arcade, would be sweet to have TOD skeeball

Could we get a roller coaster with two stations, one at the south end and one at the north? Just convert one car in the coaster to carry baggage, and it looks like the north station-south station connection has been solved. Then have a ferris wheel at each end which transfers people between the...

Would be nice to see it up for a "holliday" festival type deal on the greenway. Could have a bunch of trees and meet santa type deals, maybe a rink or two if they have space for it somewhere.

Wouldn't it be better to use DMUs for that role instead? I wont claim to know anything about the others, but it would be much more viable on the danvers route as it wouldnt require a whole new salem tunnel. Connect dmu service to the treminus of rapid transit (end blue at lynn), and run it over...

Hey even if the hyper loop doesnt work out theres now a giant string of solar panels along the median of that highway, not sure what those could possible power. The biggest issue with the hyperloop is even if you figure out how to actually make it work and build the thing for anywhere near the...

Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail Driving into downtown Boston and finding parking to hop on the already crowded transit line is slightly different then driving to a convenient park and ride for a CR stop right off of the highway. Also, both of those services you mentioned DO get the...

Oh, and I am well aware of the Rail Trail it would destroy, but let's just pretend money, NIMBYs, and all the haters don't exist.

How about running CR over Wakefield branch to Danvers and the Malls/Peabody? Hits 128 twice, 1-95, 114, and tons and tons of wetland without having to worry about making a second Salem tunnel. Plus the additional traffic could mean more rapid transit like headways on the Reading Line. Plus it...

Also, trying to take a bus to the Blue line at Wonderland is awful right now, especially from Danvers. Just getting to Salem takes at least 45 minutes, so I can imagine a whole lot more people would take the bus if it meant getting off at the Northshore Mall or even Peabody CR stop, as it would...

All good points, never thought about the impact that DMUs would have on scheduling conflicts with the Western Route. Yeah the North Shore Mall route was always the only one with serious viability, there's no reason to bring the tracks to downtown Danvers or to the Endicott Plaza when 128 and 2...

Idea for improving CR service on Newburyport/Rockport line, as well as warming up riders for a Danvers/Peabody branch and the Blue Line extension. Phase 1: Create more local short turns at Beverly, which also hit new stops at the proposed Blue Line stops running alongside the CR line (West...
