Taking the Commuter Out of America s Rail Systems

Taking the ‘Commuter’ Out of America’s Rail Systems While the plunge in ridership has left some wondering if commuter rail is dying, others see a rare opportunity to reinvent the suburb-to-city service into something very different. But it won’t be cheap or easy. April 23, 2021 •  Boston s commuter rail lines took a ridership hit of unprecedented magnitude when the pandemic engulfed the country. (David Kidd/Governing)When Garrett Wollman was considering his housing options in the greater Boston region back in 2001, the possibility of a carless commute beckoned. After all, the city has one of the best mass transit systems in the country, including an extensive regional rail network that ranges down to Providence, R.I., and up to beach towns like Gloucester and Manchester.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), locally known as the T, operates area subway, bus, and commuter rail systems. The closest subway or T stop is at Harvard Square on the Red Line, which connects the Orange, Blue, Green and Silver Lines (see map). While fares can vary according to destination, most local travel is $2.75 and requires the exact amount. Three bus routes (72 Huron Avenue, 74/75 Belmont Center, and 78 Arlmont Village) begin in Harvard Square and continue up Concord Avenue, with stops at Bond Street and Buckingham Street that are within easy walking distance to the Observatory. The bus fare is currently $2.00.
