Green line averages around 330k a day iirc

mbta ridership is 1.3 million per day in a msa of 4.7 million people don't "boston maybe" that

also considering dc metro is half commuter rail lets toss in the mbtas 368 miles of commuter rail track to that track length total

bus lanes don't work. they become either parking or rush-hour lanes depending on time of day and volume and completely gently caress up cyclists
|

if your bus lanes have bollards they must be very separate from the actual road and basically are just dedicated busways?

the mbta green line has grade crossings and moves 330k passengers per day. additionally, the extension plan to somerville was by itself enough to spur development of somerville without even laying any track

Grandmaster.flv posted:dont be a wuss. cycling means you don't have to deal with traffic and if you keep getting flats get better tires. I get what you mean but it's just a learning curve. if you can handle Boston/NYC streets on the daily you can basically bike any other city just off that core skillset nah this city is trash for biking in, sorry about your terrible job
