Re: Massachusetts state senate backs plan to electrify MBTA Providence and Fairmount commuter lines

I feel like lack of access control is what is holding back high frequency commuter rail, and also what intimidates new users

New users are more intimidated by turnstiles. The only thing holding back higher frequency is the whim of politicians, but that's what you get when the politicians take over out of a lust for power.

LIRR has no turnstiles and yet has high frequency.

Conductors selling tickets on board can result in a fare greater than you can afford

It's a simple rule to buy the ticket if the ticket office is open, at stations that have ticket offices. Now having TVMs is what results in overzeal when it comes to on-board surcharges.
