What’s wrong with better heavy rail, more buses and well placed light rail?
Starting today the City of Boston will be experiencing massive gridlock due to the fact that the MBTA ( public rail & bus transportation ) will be shutting down several major rail lines for up to a month.
The whole of the Greater Boston area ( which includes many other cities and towns ) is expected to all feel the impact.
Employers are being asked to forgive their employees tardiness.
Free electric bikes will be made available for some. ( Riders are expected to supply their own helmets. )
And to add to the expected mess major travel routes have been reduced by one lane for a special Bus Only Lanes, along with several street closures.
The information being provided about what is going on changes daily, adding to the confusion.
