I was only in England a little more than a week, and @mta.maryland.gov is doing diesel cab locomotives on the Penn Line?

An idea as to what platform screen doors would look like at a DC metro stop, that isn’t a rendering.
This is Westminster station on London’s Jubilee Line.

Overall—fantastic visit to Boston for a long weekend.
Spent too much money, but only spending $45 total on local travel while we were here helped cushion that lol
Can’t wait to take the Amtrak back up again soon.

4) USE!
To say transit was packed is an understatement. It was nice to see ppl constantly using it to get around, and we were far from the only couples on Valentine’s Day dressed up for dinner on the T.
With weekend/holiday frequency so awful in Baltimore we were spoiled here!

3) Fares!
Charlie Cards are pretty nice. We got a 7-day pass for $20/per and every mode took a mobile tap-pay. BIG plus side.
In Baltimore, we have CharmPass, but fares are hardly checked, and it’s arguably an honors system for everything, if you use the app, but I like it.

2) Connections!
Boston has solid connections to all modes, with great wayfinding.
In Baltimore, the buses connect to everything, but rail modes hardly ever intersect, and there’s no connection that makes travel seamless.
We’d commonly get off the green and right on a subway.

#Boston transit observations:
1) FREQUENCY!!
Even on outer branches of the green line, we hardly waited more than 5-6mins *on a weekend* for a train, and they were always packed.
In Baltimore, we sometimes have 30+ minute frequencies on the light rail, even more on weekends.
