ohhh snap Lesser's bill has apparently been added to the senate's version of the MA budget
Not as drastic as a greenfield HSR line...but much as I support the plan, I don't think it's an urgent priority right now.

RTAs all over the state have budget cuts for 2017. We're going to be forced to cut service here at PVTA.

I'm inclined to agree, in an environment of scarcity. As much as I'd like service directly to the PV there are higher priorities.
-
Exactly. And it seems to be a rule of transit that you get more trips *within* metros than *between* them...
-
...so cutting the former for the sake of the latter is pretty wrongheaded.

IMO quantifying value of intercity service is quite hard. I wonder if BOS-PV service would have value given # of long-distance commuters.
-
Possibly--but how many long-distance commuters start in Springfield?
