Book Synopsis Boston in Transit by : Steven Beaucher
Download or read book Boston in Transit written by Steven Beaucher and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated story of public transit in one of America’s most historic cities, from public ferry and horse-drawn carriage to the MBTA. A lively tour of public transportation in Boston over the years, Boston in Transit maps the complete history of the modes of transportation that have kept the city moving and expanding since its founding in 1630—from the simple ferry serving an English settlement to the expansive network of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or MBTA. The story of public transit in Boston—once dubbed the Hub of the Universe—is a journey through the history of the American metropolis. With a remarkable collection of maps and architectural and engineering drawings at hand, Steven Beaucher launches his account from the landing where English colonists established that first ferry, carrying passengers between what is now Boston’s North End and Charlestown—and sparing them what had been a two-day walk around Boston Harbor. In the 1700s, horse-drawn coaches appeared on the scene, connecting Boston and Cambridge, with the bigger, better Omnibus soon to follow. From horse-drawn coaches, horse-drawn railways evolved, making way for the electric streetcar networks that allowed the city’s early suburbs to sprout—culminating in the multimodal, regional public transportation network in place in Boston today. With photographs, brochures, pamphlets, guidebooks, timetables, and tickets, Boston in Transit creates a complete picture of the everyday experience of public transportation through the centuries. At once a practical reference, local history, and travelogue, this book will be cherished by armchair tourists, day-trippers, and serious travelers alike.

Book Synopsis Improving South Boston Rail Corridor by : Katerina Boukin
Download or read book Improving South Boston Rail Corridor written by Katerina Boukin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rail services in older cities such as Boston include an urban metro system with a mixture of light rail/trolley and heavy rail lines, and a network of commuter services emanating from termini in the city center. These legacy systems have grown incrementally over the past century and are struggling to serve the economic and population growth within the urban center, and increasing needs for mass transit to relieve traffic congestion from the surrounding suburbs. The rail systems themselves were not designed as a coherent system, with variations in power systems, vehicle fleets, block signaling systems, platform, station and even tunnel dimensions all inherited from an earlier era. The capacity of the system relies on the state of good repair of the physical assets, but bottlenecks can also arise from physical constraints on space, track alignment and configuration etc. One of the major challenges for legacy urban rail systems is to improve services by mitigating bottlenecks and to do so, while minimizing disruption of current operations. This thesis explores the physical causes of bottlenecks for the MBTA Red Line and possible mitigation strategies. The main focus is the South Boston corridor where the Red Line and Old Colony commuter rail lines occupy a common corridor, abuting a major highway (I-93 SE Expressway). Here, bottlenecks in the Red Line are related to track configuration at Columbia junction which serves as the sole access point to Cabot Yard, for vehicle maintenance and dispatch, as well as the branch junction for trains to Ashmont ad Braintree; while services on 3 commuter rail lines operate on a single track. We propose a mitigation scheme that will move the Red Line branch junction to a location South of Savin Hill station, will double-track the Commuter rail (over a 2.6 mile span), and will improve transfers between the Red Line and Commuter rail services at UMass/JFK station. We consider three possible schemes for project construction that allow different rail vehicle access to the Red Line from Cabot Yard, while minimizing disruption of rail travel through the corridor. The proposed schemes will enable improved headways along the Red Line and increase significantly the capacity of the Commuter rail to accommodate new services for the new South Coast rail line and future regional rail services. These outcomes are well aligned with current MBTA strategy to achieve a state of good repair, get the most service out of the existing system, increase the capacity for rapid transit, and expand the reach of commuter rail services.

Book Synopsis Trains, Buses, People by : Christof Spieler
Download or read book Trains, Buses, People written by Christof Spieler and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the best transit cities in the US? The best Bus Rapid Transit lines? The most useless rail transit lines? The missed opportunities? In the US, the 25 largest metropolitan areas and many smaller cities have fixed guideway transit—rail or bus rapid transit. Nearly all of them are talking about expanding. Yet discussions about transit are still remarkably unsophisticated. To build good transit, the discussion needs to focus on what matters—quality of service (not the technology that delivers it), all kinds of transit riders, the role of buildings, streets and sidewalks, and, above all, getting transit in the right places. Christof Spieler has spent over a decade advocating for transit as a writer, community leader, urban planner, transit board member, and enthusiast. He strongly believes that just about anyone—regardless of training or experience—can identify what makes good transit with the right information. In the fun and accessible Trains, Buses, People: An Opinionated Atlas of US Transit, Spieler shows how cities can build successful transit. He profiles the 47 metropolitan areas in the US that have rail transit or BRT, using data, photos, and maps for easy comparison. The best and worst systems are ranked and Spieler offers analysis of how geography, politics, and history complicate transit planning. He shows how the unique circumstances of every city have resulted in very different transit systems. Using appealing visuals, Trains, Buses, People is intended for non-experts—it will help any citizen, professional, or policymaker with a vested interest evaluate a transit proposal and understand what makes transit effective. While the book is built on data, it has a strong point of view. Spieler takes an honest look at what makes good and bad transit and is not afraid to look at what went wrong. He explains broad concepts, but recognizes all of the technical, geographical, and political difficulties of building transit in the real world. In the end,Trains, Buses, People shows that it is possible with the right tools to build good transit.
