Is Boston ever going to make a good transit decision this century???

Silver lining (not the silver line - that sucks) is that the proposal is to go from a terrible schedule of 45 minute weekday headway and 90 minute weekend headway to a 20 minute weekday headway and 30 minute weekend headway schedule. I'm using headway correctly, right? And the current trains are diesel. They're just American so they're scared of spending money on wires.

In fact, in spite of their electrification goals, the T has been ripping out miles of catenary wire that once powered fully-electric bus routes in Cambridge and Watertown.
