Could we please get the other 7 routes that depart from MBTA South Station ( Fairmont, Framingham/Worcester, Greenbush, Kingston, Needham, Franklin/Foxboro, Middleboro/Lakeville) As well as getting the 4 subways Green line B,C,D,E B Line- Boston College to Goverment center C Line- Cleveland Circle to Government center D Line- Riverside to Union Square E Line- Heath Street to Goverment center Red line Braintree to Alewife Ashmont to Alewife Mattapan trolley Mattapan to Ashmont Orange line Forest Hills to Oak Grove Blue line Bowdoin to Wonderland As well as the lake shore limited amtrak from South Station to Worcester
Speaking of the E branch that runs from Tufts University to Heath St via Northeastern University since December 12th, 2022 Think of the Green Line as the US version of Frankfurt am Main U-Bahn which uses RMV tickets like the Niddertalbahn
B,C,E are the only ones that run on the street though heath street is the last actual trolley that runs with traffic here in the northeast it's cool but also slightly dangerous but it be cool to see
In what do mean to explain in detail they're all exceptionally great routes Providence/Stoughton is a very straight forward route and while I've ridden it many times it was cool to actually do the route but also very boring to do the others actually show how the mbta really made each line unique to how it applied to its passengers plus the scenery is very diffrent. So I can't just pick one they're all interesting
Explain in detail such as length, rolling stock, service pattern if you can find it, a map maybe. If they're all interesting, you can do a detailed suggestion for each one or you can pick one you really want whichever is easier
Oh bet yea I'll do that tomorrow when I have a free period yea sorry for the long reply, could've kept that short Would I do another suggestion or just thread it to the original?
