A few days ago I saw an article in the Globe. It was talking about how the idea of a monorail at Logan is seriously being considered. Such a consideration would be nice on top of the fact that the only vehicles that will be allowed to go directly to the terminals will be buses soon enough. This should help to ease up traffic, and it will create an even higher transit ridership to Logan. Which is interesting because the article also mentioned that Logan has one of the highest percentages of riders who ride public transit to the airport in the country. Also, if the number of people riding on the blue line to the airport increases, as a result, this would even more so warrant the idea of extending the blue line to Charles/MGH as the blue line is currently the only of the rapid transit lines in Boston that are growing its ridership.
It made reference to how the Silver Line is a direct connection between Logan and South Station. So, I was wondering what it would take to transform the Green Line tunnel at North Station into a bus/green line tunnel much like the transit tunnel in Downtown Seattle. This would make for much easier connections between North Station and Logan. Also, this would be nice for extending the mileage of the Silver Line that is actual BRT, separated from cars.
