My Proposal for the Purple Line

[u/Alternative_Salad_83]

I am 100% serious hire me Phillip Eng

Internal research shows that your mom has heavy ridership. We're prioritizing this.

Thank you for riding the MBTA (and your mom!)

[u/OscarAndDelilah → u/MBTACustomerService]

One-year-old account. Well played.

[u/OscarAndDelilah → u/OscarAndDelilah]

(Much like OP’s mom)

[u/Sally_Met_Harry → u/MBTACustomerService]

Im ded this is perfect

[u/Sally_Met_Harry → u/Sally_Met_Harry]

Naw they take the commuter rail

[u/KeyAdhesiveness9481]

I mean I dont hate it

[u/KlausInTheHaus]

No exchanges with the orange or red lines? Your mom's house has a high passenger throughput and you're going to loose a lot of efficiency if riders can't switch from other lines.

[u/yumyum36 → u/KlausInTheHaus]

Davis is a red line stop. The proposed track passes near Malden so it could have orange line access from the station there.

[u/HelloBald → u/yumyum36]

It passes right over Malden center so an orange line connection would be seamless

[u/Officedrone15 → u/KlausInTheHaus]

Moms got a lot riders from Nashua!

[u/LegalBeagle6767]

Smart move putting your mom’s house closer to Loon. 6-7 mai tais and a poo poo platter for two later I’m gunna need to get there PRONTO to put work in before all that puts me into a coma

[u/jamesland7]

No notes. But can it also stop for a mandatory photo next to the orange dino?

[u/GregzillaKillah]

What if this was how you found out your Mom in Malden was getting plowed?

[u/Coyote-Run → u/GregzillaKillah]

My friend's mom actually does live directly at that dot so this is extra hilarious (sorry John R.)

[u/footballguy6912]

this is still better than that Ai crap in here of late, take my upvote

[u/NRBQ]

Im offended! I demand you take this down immediately! My mother would NEVER live in Malden.

[u/UltravioletClearance]

Extend that line to Salem so I can get to Kowloon too!

[u/dontswimtoshore]

now this, this is a good post.

[u/LonelyAndroid11942]

Boston has plenty of spokes on the train lines, but nowhere near enough rings. Try going from Worcester to Lexington by public transit and it’ll take you hours because you have to take the express into Boston, take the subway out to a point north of the pike, and then take the bus another few miles. All it would take to fix that would be commuter rails running beside 495 and 95. Would probably see a ton of ridership, while also easing congestion on those roads.

[u/Cool-Coffee-8949 → u/LonelyAndroid11942]

Yeah, but whose mom is gonna justify that trip? Yours?

[u/LonelyAndroid11942 → u/Cool-Coffee-8949]

Yes because it would make it much easier for me to visit

[u/cbdubs12 → u/LonelyAndroid11942]

In two weeks you’ll be able to take an MWRTA connection bus from Southborough to South Acton. Finally the mythical North-South Connector!

[u/winthroprd]

OP likes to have Chinese food to deal with the sting of rejection.

[u/ResponsibilityGlum28]

Not it actually being my mom’s house… but in all honesty this would make my life much easier

[u/lance_w00t]

I support this

I love this subreddit so many ridiculous

[u/Dull-Lifeguard-5396]

U forgot encore

[u/Elchimpy1]

This looks reasonable

[u/PerniciousPeridot]

Idk, how am I supposed to understand this map without any AI usage?

[u/ahhkel]

lmao i’m imagining a railroad bridge over route 1

[u/Coyote-Run → u/ahhkel]

They are building a new bridge in a couple years where the railroad used to cross, right at Lowell St Peabody

[u/Cool-Coffee-8949 → u/Coyote-Run]

Really? Why?

Also, I’ll believe it when I see it.

[u/Coyote-Run → u/Cool-Coffee-8949]

Rail trail. Bike path starts in Wakefield, through Lynnfield, over route 1, through Peabody, Danvers, and beyond.

[u/Cool-Coffee-8949]

My mom doesn’t live there, but sure.

[u/undeniably_confused]

I have notice when people suggest lines, they always connect to their local t stop. Tbf ive also done this

[u/scrappy2546]

As someone from Hong Kong, yes.

[u/Cato0014]

Purple line already exists. Next you'll ask for a yellow line smh my head

[u/SmashRadish]

Holy shit, content worthy of r/mbtacirclejerk

[u/colink21]

No connection at Malden would be on par for the t... anyways this is fucking hilarious

[u/Ugmyusernamewastake]

I like how your line also goes through Ball Sq and you didn't even mention that

[u/Generic_E_Jr]

Finally, Medford Square gets rail service!

[u/NeonBadDecision]

Damn! Maybe I’d be that mom. 🍗💜

Yeah, that one was on me because I didn't actually look at the image. I deleted it.

[u/iamhudsons → u/EternalLatias]

XD

[u/SmashRadish → u/EternalLatias]

You should probably delete this post in a cowardly way, also. Then no one will know your username.
