my gf and i argue all the time about which t line is better im an orange line girlie but she for some reason insists the green line is better. please help me talk some sense into her lol
I'm sorry OP, but the orange line is the heart of simplicity on the T. It's a single path with no variation. Even the red line has at least one split. Don't get me wrong, there is beauty in simplicity, but simplicity is not the Massachusetts way. The green line has some chutzpah. It has four branching paths, and union square to boot. That's the spirit of Boston right there, pain and confusion in your transportation choice.
However, you are both wrong. The silver line is where it's at. That thing is such a mess it has to be numbered to differentiate it from itself. There are loops, connections to all four other lines in the weirdest places. You get the worst of Boston roads and the worst the t has to offer all in one package.
Listen I know Unova is New York, so it would be the NYC Metro, but the Subway already has some Japanese influence so why not Boston too! (Unova has colored train lines like Boston!)
Based this drawing on some pics of the older sort of Red Line trains :) Emmet isn't exactly to scale bc I messed up a bit but still was a lot of fun to draw!
Not an ask I just wanted to give MBTA propaganda because of your last ask:
- You can take the blue line to the beach (blue, like water)
- We have the boylston curve (sharpest light rail turn anywhere and there are grease guns that spray the wheels when the train goes by) which causes track noise audible through the concrete (it’s green so you know it’s safe)
- The mattapan trolleys are so cute
- The BRT that replaced the old orange line alignment is the silver line because it came in second place (to the old street cars)
- The red and orange lines are supposed to be on fire that’s why they are color coded like that
They make Trolleys out of Marzipan? And the curve is made of a ton of boys? What's going on in Boston
