The 3 Hubway stations in the Back Bay that have been closed since the marathon are back up!
Washington Square Hubway is up!
By my count, they are now at 105 station, not counting the Andrew Square and BMC stations that have not been put back for the year yet.
As an aside, without even expanding geographically, Hubway could add infill stations downtown and really start raising their station count.
I can think of a couple locations, downtown alone, that could really use more coverage. An example:
-Nashua Street Park area. There are off-road bike paths (Nashua Street Park) and major employers (Spaulding, Suffolk County). Nearest station(s) are at North Station, which doesn't keep up with demand, and is far enough away that it would serve a distinct purpose.
Filling in these kinds of areas could get Hubway a couple dozen more stations in Boston alone, without even expanding their footprint.
