My thoughts: I don't have a strong feeling on whether the CapeFlyer is shown in purple or another color to distinguish it from year-round commuter rail -- just as long as it's finally shown on the MBTA system map. It's long past time. The CapeFlyer service east of Middleborough should be...

It's the I-195 bridge.

And apparently some people think only those over age 60 live on the Cape. :ROFLMAO:

Yes. See the recent boston.com story at https://www.boston.com/food/food-news/2024/01/09/south-station-au-bon-pain-closes/ The location at Boston Children's Hospital also recently closed, and at Brigham and Women's a bit earlier.

Looks good, though it "Buzzards Bay," not "Buzzard's Bay." :)

Nice map, though it should include the seasonal CapeFLYER service (perhaps as an arrow from just north of the planned Middleborough station).

And Wareham and Bourne's hope of seeing a commuter rail extension to Buzzards Bay.

The planners for the establishment of Route 128 as a limited access highway had some thoughtful foresight on this. Its present route largely follows the borders between towns/cities, as seen on the map above. Hence the curves between Wellesley and Newton just south of the Mass Pike, and the...

I suspect House bill HD4555 is an attempt by State Reps. Fernandes, Diggs and Xiarhos to dull the effort by Bourne bike path proponents to abandon the remaining Woods Hole branch to North Falmouth and Joint Base Cape Cod, while jump-starting plans for commuter rail service to Buzzards Bay...

There is no shuttle bus service planned between the new Middleborough and existing Middleborough/Lakeville stations. And I understand that while room is reserved for a possible Buzzards Bay/Cape platform at the new Middleborough station (in the area of the "400' Platform" depicted above), it is...

No. Bourne residents have voted at least twice to join/keep the town as a member of the MBTA district, in the hope that commuter rail service will be extended down to Buzzards Bay. And repeated polls by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority have shown Cape residents want expanded CapeFlyer...

Having grown up near Buzzards Bay village, a few thoughts. I'll reference a couple of insightful posts. First: And this is why you're not seeing any mention of improving public transportation to or from the Cape, whether its bus or rail. While the claim is this project is meant to merely...

I assume this is in response to this crap:

The East Street bridge in Westwood was replaced a few years ago. Search "east street bridge westwood" on Youtube to see videos of the project, as well as some of the many too-tall vehicles that tried to pass under the old bridge.

Rear view of this building, I assume, described as an MBTA substation.

The Cape Cod & Hyannis used to connect with Amtrak trains at Attleboro back in the 1980s.

The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has once again blocked additional CapeFlyer weekend runs, according to a CapeFlyer Facebook post. From the post: "Planning for this season is well underway. We were shot down again for an additional round trip..." Later reply by CapeFLYER: "We have to submit...

There is a three year old YouTube video posted showing the planned improvements for the Route 20 interchange with connector to Route 117.

I love the MBTA spokesweasel response in the StreetsBlog article: The bascule span is what tiny proportion of the viaduct? The rail across the entire span wasn't replaced as part of the viaduct rehabilitation? I wonder if Battison kept a straight face writing the response.
