Expanding existing T lines is incredibly expensive. It requires more
rolling stock, more switch points, more staff, more infrastructure,
etc. Its much more than just digging a new tunnel or laying new rail.
Those expansions might be very helpful, but there are many more cost
effective things that can be done to improve transit. Chief among them
would be greatly expanding the number and length of bus lanes into and
within the city. This is what they do in Zurich and it works
wonderfully. Yeah, car traffic will get worse, but overall throughput
greatly improves.
