wow weird crazy how this keeps happening...it's as though demand for frequent trains is very high even among suburbanites who have to drive all the way to Braintree to get it...do you think they'd use commuter rail if there were more than 7 inbound trains between 5:45 and now?https://twitter.com/MBTA/status/958682739632373761 …

The crucial advantage of the Red Line isn't that it's faster than the commuter rail, but that it's more frequent, which means SHORT WAITS at the station--a factor that can't be beat! I would love to imagine that people also prefer it for the EMUs, but that's a bit of a leap...

To the extent, however, that EMUs facilitate tight headways in a way that locomotives do not--well, to that extent, people DO prefer them!
