MBTA North-South rail link is the most ridiculously overhyped project in the Boston area. Blue Line to Charles is 100x as important.

I disagree that it's overhyped. Improves connectivity, scheduling, removes need for future expansions

better ways to approach all three of those goals, tho: - connectivity by using subway thru service ala Japan

- scheduling: a 2 track line w 4 track stub terminal ought to be turning trains around every 10 minutes, maybe better

- future expansions (assuming you mean frequency of departures) by adding tracks at bottlenecks leading to terminals...

They could get good turn-around now, they just don't want to run six car trains that are nearly empty or smaller trains

good that they can get good turn-around now; they gotta be willing to run emptier trains tho

passengers aren't freight; you can't wait for a train to fill up before you send it off...we need lots of trips *available*
