The only problem is, the commuter rail is a fucking joke running on ancient technology. Fix that first.

Also, and I know this will come as news to many....

Not everyone works in Boston!

Gasp!

The worcester commuter rail line worked well for me for 5yrs. There were some delays but nothing noteable or systemic. I don't work in Boston anymore but it was a fine commute into town once I moved out to the suburbs

Well, in recent years it hasn't been doing well. At all.

It is also insanely antiquated with zero willingness by the powers that be to electrify or expand the network. The hours are a joke. And it is expensive for what it is.

He'll, the whole MBTA is dysfunctional.
