Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail I agree, The mbta spent the 90's expanding commuter rail, the 00's on BRT, now its time to focus on rapid transit again. I think the T should ditch Light rail in favor of Heavy Rail/Subway... The Orange Line is too short and should have branches to...

The Greenway looks like shit, especially during winter. Even though its better than the old X-way, if you didn't know that the highway was there originally you'd think it was some horrible mistake. They need to pack it full of very tall trees(>50'). If they're not going to do that I wish they'd...

Re: Silver Line Phase III So when this gets completed in the year 2473, is there a seperate tunnel for LRT to the airport or does the trolley run in the Ted Williams in mixed traffic? Cuz that would be hilarious. Also, are those rails from south station to WTC already in the BRT tunnel or is...

Re: Silver Line Phase III I don't know... I can't see something like this being insanely expensive. This shouldn't be nearly as expensive as Silver line phase II where they were tunnelling through landfill and had to sink a tunnel under Fort point channel. Washington street is solid earth...

Re: Silver Line Phase III I don't see why a worthless city like D.C. can get a 30 mile subway extension to Dulles Airport no problem, and we have this awful silverline. I would think the practical thing would be to add a branch of the orange line from NE Med Center to Dudley on the south...

I don't think that demolishing city hall or the plaza would be a good idea. Many of the world's greatest cities have huge empty plazas which are monuments in their own rite: Tiananmen Square in Beijing, Red Square in Moscow, Place de la Concorde in Paris, Alexanderplatz in Berlin,Plaza de la...

Has there been any serious discussion about bringing the Orange line back to Dudley Square. I think it would be awesome if it ran underground the whole way there(from NE Medical all the way under Washington st.). It seems like the most logical thing to do. I know there's been a lot of LRT talk...
