@knizer I haven’t followed that! Honestly just converting the silver line bus in the tunnel into heavy rail subway line……
@corgidad the word 'just' does a lot of work in that sentence... Recommend slogging through the 2 hour (they ramble and banter, and the first 5 minutes you can skip) amusing podcast from #WellTheresYourProblem on The Silver Line if you want to get really spicy, and dig into why we have the #SilverLine that we do. https://youtu.be/1pUQnb9BgCk?t=207
@knizer I’ll dig into that when I get a chance. I thought silver line is a bus because MBTA ran out of money? What I’ve heard is that silver line was supposed to be heavy rail just like orange/red/blue, hence the “silver” designation. Then MBTA said oh we were running out of money so it’d just be a light rail. And then they didn’t even have money for light rail so we ended up with buses running in the tunnel (only applies to SL 123, not 4/5)…
