I'm not sure if I've shared this proposal yet. I think the existing Silver Line Waterfront/Airport service could be enhanced without any new infrastructure. For simplicity, efficiency, reduced traffic, and connectivity, I think the SL should absorb the Massport shuttle.
1. Eliminate the Massport shuttle that operates between terminals and the Blue Line.
2. Add the Blue Line Airport Station to the Silver Line's route. This means a hassle free connection between the Blue Line and the South Boston Waterfront.
3. Since the SL currently only runs counter clockwise through the airport, someone could not get directly from, say, terminal A to E. To solve this problem, have half of all Silverline buses run clockwise.
4. If the SL replaces the free Massport shuttle, should the SL then be free? I could go either way.
