Frequent, electrified service on the Commuter Rail’s Fairmount Line will address public health inequities in an environmental justice community & serve as a critical pilot project. @ABetterCity applauds the @MBTA Board of Directors vote to advance Regional Rail & decarbonization

Battery-electric trains are coming to @MBTA_CR Fairmount Line. Today, Board of Directors approved a $54 million plan to acquire BEMU trains for more frequent service, less energy consumption & lower emissions for surrounding communities. ow.ly/LVTg50SKqf3 #BuildingABetterT

Check out the new @TransitMatters report More than time to improve bus service MBTA
TransitMatters@transitmatters9 Apr 2024
⏱️ Our Pokey/Schleppie report will release in just 2 days! 🚍 The 91 bus is the MBTA's 3rd slowest bus & the 111 bus is the 3rd most bunched. 91 & 111 riders, does this surprise you?
A faux-Spotify Wrapped graphic edited to say "Slowest Buses" and "Most Bunched Buses" instead of "Top Artists" and "Top Songs." The top 4 of each column are blurred out, revealing the fifth slowest and fifth most bunched buses. The 66 bus is the fifth slowest and the 57 bus is the fifth most bunched. The 19 bus is the fourth slowest and the 22 bus is the fourth most bunched. The 91 bus is the third slowest and the 111 bus is the third most bunched. The Top Genre has also been edited to "POV: Bus" and the TransitMatters logo has replaced "Minutes Listened." The top artist's photo on the top is an out-of-service MBTA bus.

The MBTA appears to be committed to a date when electric trains will finally carry passengers on its commuter rail system: 2027. Electric trains can accelerate faster and hit higher maximum speeds, and run quieter and cleaner than diesel. trib.al/wcKCAHc
