      Yes! I would really like to see some ideas on where to send the Blue Line, I have some thoughts but they aren’t fully formed yet

      I'm a big fan of a Blue Line extension past Charles to Kendall, then onto Grand Junction alignment, then out as far as Riverside, Lower Falls, beyond

      part of my larger "let's run reciprocal service between subways and suburban railways" idea

      You extend it up to Lynn and you could do through running from Worcester to the Newburyport/Rockport Line (really would enjoy the MBTA actually having CR line names as well)

      It’s very Japanese of you. I’m not sure it’s the best use of funds even with a lot more $ but it’s intriguing

      It's very Japanese but also has a long history in old '60s and '70s Boston transit plans. The core problem I see, aside from federal regs, is that the core subway trunks here are relatively low-capacity and will probably fill up with just existing service in the coming years.

      how low capacity are we talking (trains per hour), and is it more a track issue or a signal one

      I'll save you from scrolling back but basically there are no signals. They are just streetcars in tunnels. Antiquated terminal designs, mixing light rail with traffic lights, tight curves. The GL is an OLD system.

      I was thinking Red/Blue/Orange lines not Green--similar issues there?

          Not really, the heavy rail lines actually have true signal systems but they just aren’t up to par but CBTC plans are underway for Red/Orange/Blue but I assume a good ways way still

          No, they have standard signals that all need upgrading. Also more cars. Red Line has a terminal capacity problem at Alewife due to poor switch layout, not a whole lot you can do there.

          Red and Orange are getting new signals but will max out at 21-22 tph. Short stop spacing downtown is a major constraint.

          22 tph is significant increase over current service isn’t it at least? Orange is running 10tph at peak and the Red Line is running ~14tph on the shared section

          yes. It will help considerably.

          I would think with the red line in particular, the branching is really awful for riders at all times since they don’t really run enough service at any time currently imo
