@Division2Supt @universalhub @QuadWalrus That is a rare photograph. I have one taken in 1949 which shows the shelter virtually unchanged. This photo shows the car house still standing on the right hand side of the photo. Thanks for posting this.

@CharlieOnMTA The MTA began a skip stop program whereby the A train bypassed certain stations inbound in order to speed up the service. Apparently it wasn’t successful. If you got on at Forest Hills, the train would bypass green and Egleston Square, stopping at Dudley.

Who took the bus this morning? This photo taken #onthisday in 1949 shows passengers boarding the bus in Dudley Station! ow.ly/9fFU50HOj2P

@CharlieOnMTA This car is a centre entrance car, not a TYPE4. Officially known as a centre entrance motor car. The last of these cars were retired in 1953.

A Type 4 at Mechanics (renamed Prudential in 1964). #Boston #MBTA #transit #ThrowbackThursday #tbt #TBThursday

@ArchivesBoston @CharlieOnMTA Scollay Square had movable platforms when elevated trains used the Tremont St. Subway from 1901-1908. The Elevated itself had moving platforms at Dudley and Sullivan Square stations.
English

Did you know that some of Boston's subway stations used to have movable platforms? #onthisday in 1903, a city photographer photographed workers demonstrating the platforms at Scollay Square Station. cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…

@steevies89 @CharlieOnMTA I agree. Most of the new cabling and pipes were done in the MBTA era; the electric conduits put in were for the new LRVs that required more voltage, and the other cables were for signalling and WiFi capability. All old wiring throughout the MBTA is left in place, too.

Copley station shortly after opening and present day. Looks almost exactly the same from this view. #ThrowbackThursday #tbt #TBThursday #Boston #MBTA #transit #thenvsnow

@transitmatters @MBTA Add the Mattapan-Ashmont line when the rebuilt cars return.

We're looking to update the New Train Tracker. One thing we are focusing on is data viz (like trips per day with new trains over time). What features or data about the new @MBTA GL, OL, & RL trains would you like to see in the New Train Tracker? Current: traintracker.transitmatters.org

@bosBRT It has been 66 years since rapid transit has run on Blue Hill Avenue; streetcars in centre road reservation were removed and replaced by buses. It was all part of the City of Boston plan to speed up automobile use of city streets. Now the priority is people, not cars. Hooray!
English

It's been a long time coming (in 2015, #BRT was recommended for this heavily trafficked corridor) but
🚍center-running dedicated bus lanes
🚴🏾♂️protected bike lines
& a better experience for riders, bikers, and pedestrians are coming to Blue Hill Ave!🎉

@transitmatters Sorry I have another engagement. Would have enjoyed it.
English

@bosBRT I’m not sure it will make any difference once the bus gets to Revere. The stretch from Oak Island Street to Revere Street will erase any advantage that the Lynnway bus lane has.
English

Yes, there are equitable solutions to high-traffic intersections!
Simple enhancements (& red paint🎨) to the Lynnway would improve bus speeds & create a safer experience for riders with amenities like boarding platforms and bus shelters. Let's make it happen. #betterbuses #BRT
