...which is that the train station itself got built way outside the actual center of town, beyond a highway underpass, in an undeveloped area, *even though the tracks into Boston go right past the actual town center*pic.twitter.com/jWxzfgnQTY
By the way--wanna take a guess where the train station in this town used to be? The street names are a bit of a giveaway...pic.twitter.com/sT4N6dJUm9
They could've rebuilt the station on its former site when the line was reopened. Instead, they put it outside of town, too far for people to easily walk, surrounded by parking. They used it as a pretext for even more sprawl, more driving, more untouched land getting built on!
On the other hand--maybe it was for the best that the station ended up far away. There's no building here, nowhere to shelter from the weather, nowhere to eat or drink, no staff on hand, nowhere to buy a ticket, no fare gates or security...it's just a long roof lolpic.twitter.com/09nQbXr5DO
Boston's commuter rail doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to stations in town centers--this is just a (very slightly) glorified sidewalk! Who in their right mind wants to wait here? Hot in the sun, wet in the rain, cold in wind or snow...boring and dangerous!pic.twitter.com/opim9RtLFB
In an urban setting or a rural one, people need NICE STATIONS where they will be happy to spend a little time waiting. No excuses!pic.twitter.com/FsQyyUyVB9
do you think america has any chance of changing 

incredibly cool that the existence of cars is physically inhibiting the ability of people to use things that aren't cars
the dirt paths through the grass there--they didn't even put the parking lot close enough to the station lmao, it's waste absolutely everywhere you look
dig it all up and start again
Love to walk 6 blocks to get easy access to transit.
