Okay lol

I believe there should be a rail line that goes through the valley next to the Connecticut River and then align from Springfield into Amherst at UMass Amherst, and then continuing on to Worcester Framingham and Boston. There should be another extension eventually to Albany via Pittsfield as well. The reason that you don't see these lines here is because it was hard to make something like that with the measurement tool in Google Earth lol

It is intended for all of those types of people and more. It's based on the philosophy that if there are roads going to places, there can be rails that go there too, and no matter where you're going you shouldn't need an automobile. I don't know what the cost would be but I do know it would be a lot.

Absolutely! I believe it is much more important. But, I wanted to show off something that I thought would be cool that I haven't seen proposed by anybody yet.

I actually made it go through there lol

Too bad we don't still have that line because we need commuter rail to New Hampshire fr.

I'm imagining because then you can get to Boston or Providence with the commuter rail or amtrak?

Wait isn't that line going to new bedford?

In the long term trans have much cheaper maintenance than buses. But also, this is designed to allow people to travel farther distances if they wanted to.

Also, reliable buses usually only exist on relatively short paths that are within their own city, not intercity trips like this even if they are relatively close to each other.

But I suppose it would be possible. Still not as exciting though, and something being exciting is more important than it sounds because exciting news hypes up local economies.

Why not?

>I can’t see people taking a train from Gloucester to Newburyport

May I ask why?

There is a little bit of existing rail but it's mostly an ideal path.

I literally just made it lol... But if we estimate by multiplying me amount of miles by 1.5 based on my experience riding the Lowell line to visit UMass Lowell I'm guessing the end-to-end time would be somewhere around 290 minutes, maybe 280 because this line would probably be electrified and be more efficient.

All in all, you could expect somewhere around 4 to 5 hours to get around the whole thing, but it's not meant to take people all the way from Brockton to Gloucester; it's meant to carry people short distances that require stupidly long journeys into Boston and out of Boston again, such as Fitchburg to Worcester, or Foxboro to Brockton.

Yeah lol

Damn... Do you find that there are any disadvantages to living in Malden as opposed to Somerville?

I suppose not needing to have a car, or having to rely on one much less would definitely help with the household economics. Thoughts?

I agree. Personally I'm excited for the GLX, but the housing affordability crisis is insane.

Lmao I hate that city.

It's both a good thing and a bad thing and overall I'm excited about it, but I think the gentrification part is a bad side effect because it drives away the people that already live there.

Wilmington Delaware is very affordable and has decent Transit lol

Lol I know how to spell it but I use the microphone on my phone to type so sometimes it doesn't come out right and I don't correct it lol

I'm from Revere btw

Do not take the silver line when you come out of the airport if it's during rush hour. Take the blue line instead.
