Pioneer-brain sez: "Clearly we need to privatize the privatizing to fully realize the value of privatizing."
The MBTA did a massive study of the fare zones in March and came to the basic conclusion that just shifting individual stations down a zone usually decreases equity and has undesirable results, specifically moving stations from Zone 1 to 1A. It's a good read: https://massdot.box.com/v/commuterrailfarestudyThey also temporarily lowered the CR Lynn zone to 1A because of Blue Line work. Should stay that way.
And just imagine what the NEXT rapid transit map update is going to look like!The T has updated the Rapid Transit/Key Bus Routes Map to include the long-term North Station-Lechmere shuttle bus, which is reminiscent of the modification made during the Government Center closure. That map, as well as the System Map, have also been updated to reflect the name change of Dudley Square to Nubian Square. Not all collateral has been modified to reflect the name change: for example, the SL4/SL5 schedule, which looks to have been released at the same time as the system map, still says "Dudley."
The complete system map already shows the GLX as a clear line outlined by Green.And just imagine what the NEXT rapid transit map update is going to look like!
Assuming everything goes as scheduled ideally the next big system map change would have GLX and whatever new stations result from the station consolidation on the B branch...And just imagine what the NEXT rapid transit map update is going to look like!

I believe that is in reference to these:
- Additional Chinatown elevators (perhaps reopening the closed entrances?) and new elevators at the City Hall entrance to State are in design. These have been mentioned before, but weren't in the recent FMCB presentation about other elevators - anyone have any info?
Hidden at the end of: https://cdn.mbta.com/sites/default/...ion-accessibility-improvements-accessible.pdfThanks! Is that from a FMCB presentation - if so, link?
