Getting across the Saugus will be nearly as expensive as a cross harbor tunnel

All three of those extensions are more useful and could ALL be done for less than BLX.

So, spend $2B on BLX instead of changing fares?

I'm sorry, perhaps you don't understand where the Eastern Route goes? Perhaps I don't know how to read my map, but I believe that it goes from Salem to Boston, through Lynn, and just east of Cambridge. So, why do Lynn folk take the 4xx buses to Wonderland? To sunbathe on Revere Beach? To grab a...

The trail advocates immediately forget that the situation is supposed to be temporary. Frosts my butt

To quote Spock, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. I have personally observed that path on several occasions and never saw more than 50-60 users per hour

No. There are numerous lines that run 15 min service on single track

They do in Europe.

I can think of several ways to unnecessarily lengthen Springfield service;)

Transitmatters suggests that 90 min service would be feasible with RR, and people are forgetting that Springfield service could also serve as part of Worcester frequency upgrades

So we should just accept MBTA "slop ops"? That lines capacity should be at least 8tph

And a lot of the neighborhood LOVES having GL access. The apartments and condos built or being built along Needham Ave far outnumber the SFHs north of the track

What would be "gooder" would be to see some MA related funding

NSRL would be cheaper than SSX and allow more trains

Twin type 10s should be enough for the volume but you could run some triples in a Sullivan to Harvard shuttle if traffic warrants it
