The Green Line , specially line E is antiquated. And there is no way to upgrade it as it meshes with city’s vehicular traffic at points. One hour commute from Brighton Center to Downtown. Within that same distance, in São Paulo, Brazil , it would take a third of the time, with more stops , to get from origination to destination.
Then the red line has plenty breakdowns, so I heard. This for a line that suffers no interruptions on its pathways.
They might need better signaling. Or throw vans at the routes.
Also, no New Bedford or Fall River rail line extensions. Metro west gets commuter rail. South Coast, scantly.
Massachusetts towns do not have populational density to scale up public transportation affordable and profitable at the same time, while meeting overdue capital improvements . That means money has to flow from DOT , through State and towns.
Cut your defense budget by a quarter and the money will be there.
It also means there is an urgent need to make rail traveling more enticing. The MA commuter rail trains are comfortable. Yet There is a need to go into a single fare system between commuter rail and subway. One pass, multiple exchanges at no extra cost. They do this , then ridership will slowly increase.
I know this because our São Paulo Brazil Commuter Rail and Subway under this revenue sharing system and it works. And that taking into,account some subway lines are run by private concessions.
