Great review of this branch line. The amount of hype that this extension received undoubtedly makes it my favorite transit extension of all time, since it's so encouraging to see this many people excited about public transport.

I was on the second train at the front too and didn’t even realize you were there at E. Somerville and South! I was the person in the blue jacket if you saw me

I really hope we get an extension to West Medford at some point. Commuter rail connection is too good to pass up

As a tufts student who takes the Lowell line home occasionally, I would love a west Medford extension of the GLX. However, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon, as they had to scrap it due to budget problems.

That sounds like a good idea but that’s probably not gonna happen for another decade.

I used to take either Bus 80, 87 or 88 to Lechmere Station to go to Boston, Now all I have to do is walk towards Magoun Square Station which is literally feet from where I live lol
