The Silver Line Rocks

I do have to give kudos to the MBTA for the Silver Line. I can't be ranting all the time. It got me from literally leaving the doorstep of my office at the World Trade Center to South Station in 10 minutes. 10 MINUTES. Wow. I know, it's not that far, but when you take into account waiting time in a city where it takes forever to go 2 miles, that's pretty damn cool.

The inbound Silver Line bus runs every 3 minutes during evening rush hour. They are well staffed with courteous and safety-conscious people in bright orange safety vests holding clipboards, seemingly recording logs of when the buses actually arrive and depart each station. I wonder why this only occurs on the Silver Line and not any other line. [I have the Green Line specifically in mind when I say this...] I know it's new...I can only hope these improvements will start to migrate to the other lines which are in need of streamlining.
