Rule of Boston transit: Build five, keep four

By adamg - 12/11/12 - 9:03 am

David notices Boston transportation services tend to be built in fives and then the powers that be eliminate one of them: There used to be five Green Line branches, five Silver Line routes and five terminals at Logan.

What's going on here? Do the planners have spooky Mickey Mouse hands? Does Boston overbuild then scale back? Shrinkage?

I don't think all 5 Silver Lines ever existed at the same time.
