My beef isn't with the aesthetics, which I believe you are remarkably accurate in describing, but rather with the outmoded framework which the MBTA commuter rail operates within. They've blown billions of dollars on subway extensions parallel to extant commuter lines, frequently to the detriment of the commuter rail system. Those same service improvements could easily have been had for far less money by improving the commuter rail infrastructure. We have little funding available for mass transit improvements, but in Boston and many places around the country that limited amount of money is squandered with profligate abandon on unnecessarily expensive modes while leaving other modes so underinvested they are virtually useless. |
