and you know that the commuter rail and subway operate differently right?

between north station and Malden center there are two commuter rail stops, 6 orange line stops. between south station and brain tree there are 4 commuter rail stops, and 9 red line stops. subways are for shorter distances and have more stops. the commuter rail has 13 stops from providence to south station. a subway would at the minimum have 26 stops, but probably more. with just 26 stops and waiting for a quick 2 minutes per stop that's already almost and hour of waiting without travel time. a subway isn't a good form of transportation over that large a distance.

A subway is just an underground railroad. there are no requirements on the technology to how many stops per mile you have. Subways can also go straighter then above ground routes.
