This. I can't see it on my big monitor

Gimp supports webp, but when I zoomed in the words were all blurry, so the text is rasterized.

As a former Bostonian and veteran T rider, I'd like to see an expanded route structure. But one problem I see with the map is so much interlining: too many routes funneling into (presumably still) double-track tunnels. Or would the blue, orange and red lines through Boston proper have four-track tunnels?

In my current home (northern Virginia), the Washington Metro has congestion through the tunnels under the Potomac and downtown DC where the blue, orange, and silver lines share a double-track tunnel.

Four-track tunnels through Boston proper would be fun, though. :smiley:

Long trip times to the ends of the suburban branches and does not complete the Urban Ring. And not nearly enough capacity in the downtown tunnels for Red, Green and Orange lines. Still, fun to look at, thanks.

They aren't rushing to build that Blue Line tunnel right through the heart of Georgetown? Shock.
