These are specifically priorities which don't involve creating any new routes or services--these pertain to bringing the *existing* system up to better standards

I also left out "more commercial use of stations and transit facilities" because of space, although it's worth considering that it'll be difficult to get a good commercial mix under current conditions--bringing stations etc up to scratch is kind of a prereq for this

As far as expansion priorities go, "inside Rt 128" is a far higher priority than the rest of the metro area--covering north-south links, subway extensions, and infill stations on commuter lines (bear in mind these infill stations don't make sense w/o frequent MU service first)
