    MBTA Fare System (Charlie, AFC 2.0, Zone, Discounts)

    I mean, the main point of having the readers in the car is to allow all door boarding. Also, since you can’t really put readers at surface station. In terms of fare machines, I doubt we will see them put anywhere the don’t currently exist, save for maybe the D branch.

    Is the T’s planned FY25 budget similar to the planed service reduction in 2021 or will it maintain current service levels?

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    I’ve always thought an extension to Foxborough center would be a good idea, but if you are going all the way to Mansfield you might as well have at least some trains continue to Providence.

    Any idea what this means? Are they talking about the JFK-Harrison square split point or possible express tracks? Also unrelated, what are the odds the new blue line trains have either CBTC or at least walkthrough trains (since it’s the global standard at this point)?

    B&M Eastern Route Quad Tracking + Harbor Tunnel

    I think it depends on the alternative, but I don’t know much about costs. If it was the preferred alternative which has it connecting with the Eastern Route around Oak Island, a grade crossing would have to be eliminated. this would require either an underpass or an overpass as well as the...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    quick question since idk how operations work. If I’m correct the NR line is the 2nd busiest line. So why do the Old Colony lines run with all bi levels and the Franklin line runs mostly bi levels but the NR line only uses 1 or 2? Is it entirely because the lack of need on the north side besides...
