Those maps are the best. We
Those maps are the best. We live around the corner from the Bellevue commuter rail stop and if they were to extend the orange line like a couple of those maps have it. I would be the happiest man in Roslindale !
Blah blah blah
West Medford, Urban ring, whatever. You really wanna get me pumped for the future? Take half the stops off the B line.
The T would be happy to do that!
Except they would add 12 more in BU at the same time.
The b line
Absolutely!
The B line seems to have a stop every hundred yards around BU and it stops about every 15 seconds to load/unload. Is it really that impossible for the B riders there to walk extra 100 yards if a stop or two gets eliminated?
I shave seen a skateboarder roll by the trolley once and he beating it without even trying.
As a former BU student...
...I have to agree 100%. It was quicker for me to walk to the D line and take it to Kenmore and then B outbound 2 stops (on a cold day) than it was to take it from Chestnut Hill ave to BU Central. Granted this was 16 yrs ago but it seems the student 'zombies' haven't learned much. I do have to say that the T operators then and now aren't much better, lots of shouting and 'short stopping' - in any event about 6-7 less stops and spacing them out better would do wonders.
I really do dig these maps, it would be nice if some of them were a bit more realistic. ;)
Am I the only one who ever wanted a red line extension to central square?
How about commuter boats along the charles for rapid transit?
