Totally agree. I'm guessing ridership was terrible before the closures which is why they are being lazy about it.
Nope. Definitely not terrible. It has always had higher ridership than wealthier towns that would not suffer the fate of having their only Commuter Rail Station close for a decade.
At last count, it was the 46th highest ridership Commuter Rail Station of 140 stations systemwide. Comfortably top-half. Technically top third! It was the fourth highest ridership station on the North Shore (behind only Salem, Beverly, and Swampscott).
There is no good defense of this action. This isn’t Silver Hill.
