I feel bad for her. Clean-sheet design is way, way easier than cleaning up the absolute disaster that is the MBTA and MassDOT.

That said, there's honestly a lot of stuff that could be done that would require very little upfront investment and would dramatically improve transit access in Massachusetts. I've run the numbers on commuting from my apartment in Framingham to my work in Needham by transit, and little improvements like extending a bus line by a few stops could nearly halve the trip.
