Alright, made some updates.

This is probably outside your scope, but on these line diagrams I wish there was some indication which regional rail lines a stop connects with, rather than just using the purple rectangle for all of them. I can see it would be tough to squeeze all the names in at South Station or even Quincy, and I don't have any good suggestions. This bothers me on the current full map too.

If/when the T really commits to regional rail with high frequency, all-day service, I think the regional rail lines could really use their own individual branding. Maybe with numbers, letters, or colors. But that's a pretty massive graphical redesign for the whole network.

I 100% agree but without just writing out the names of the lines there's not much I can do. As far as I can tell there's no current short-form or abbreviation for the lines.

The consolidated BOS <> Readville and BOS <> Braintree schedules use abbreviations (for the origination point, not technically the line).

I don't know whether you are making an editorial comment about the quality of Silver Line transfer, but the MBTA considers Chinatown to be a transfer point and shows it that way on their maps.

BNRD makes Chinatown an inbound stop only without looping like the current SL4/5, so I've opted not to show it.
 
Two Green Line diagrams, one that preserves the walking connections and one that doesn't. (I realize now that Government Center and Park Street aren't consistent, I'll fix it later.)
