How many boats use this? Are they all pleasure craft? Is it not used at all during the winter months. Seems like a nuts expense and inconvenience for a few yacht owners to be able to putter about boston harbor. I'll probably get shot out of a cannon for this view!

Just to be clear, I'm not having a go at you, I appreciate the info I just think it's daft trying to police a system with so many different versions of paying. How much would fare gates at the 7 new GLX stops cost and how much would they save?

Ok, so with the new charlie card, they can use a hand held device to see where I boarded even if I use a platform vending machine and do away with needing to validate my ticket? And what if I take the silver line from the airport with no ticket, switch to park, then go to Gillman sq and they...

So the system for the Green Line E branch is use a charlie card but only at the platform vending machine at some stations and get a paper receipt. use a credit card or cash at the platform vending machine at some stations and get a receipt use a credit card or charlie card to tap in to the...

Absolutely bonkers system. What happens if you tap a bank card on a scanner in the train? How do you validate that? If they have readers that can read that, why do you need to validate fares at the vending machines? (unless you're paying cash)

Should be doable running off peak. There would be Orange line access from Sullivan, Assembly (new bridge), Wellington (shuttle) There would be existing bus routes and a new Silver line service. Maybe that extends from Sullivan down washington st to East Somerville. I presume new private parking...

I'd say that'll buff out.

4 years, christ.

I dont even understand it. Is it superimposed on something really old or are they proposing scrapping the school st. station entrance?

Saw this site cordoned off yesterday. Do you know if there's any more info anywhere online?

Went for lunch at CX today. It's a really nice area.

ah, alright, fair enough, if those numbers are accurate or even close, then yeah, it would be worth it. I'd no idea fare evasion was that bad on the GLX. I guess I thought much more people had monthly passes or other types of passes.

I'm only anti fare if the implementation and collection of the fare costs more than the revenue it generates. The proposal above was to hire 10 people at 100k each P/A to police the green line above ground. Thats a cost of $1m and I'd speculate the T would not cover their costs from the extra...

or, leave it as it is because the amount you save on evaded fares prob wouldnt hit anywhere near $1m a year so you'd be running a loss as well as bothering thousands of passengers with digital scanners. How would it even work? You have to remember which card you used to pay then they scan it to...

wait, you cant tap your charlie card on one of those readers in the trams? Thats hilarious!

Mid September ‘25?

Cool. Thanks for the explanation. So Everett could bring it up on their own but dont have anything much to trade in order to get other cities to pass the bill? So what if they bring it just on the grounds that it cleans up the site and brings added business to Somerville and Charlestown? Other...

Not totally up on state law or how it all works, Is that it? Or do they sit around trying to come up with another plan for when government re opens, which is what, next year? This all seems a bit crazy!

A screen shot from my twitter feed thismorning. Very excited about this!

I find it mind blowing that CBS have signed a deal with the EFL. Come a long way from paying $10 in to an Irish pub to watch the biggest club games in the world on the likes of Setanta sport! A Revs team that's competitive and in the city would be one of the hottest tickets around.
