So all of my information is very old and second/third hand but one of the old GMs of the T was pushing for something like this. He wanted to extend the Plymouth line to swing down by the cape bridges and create a south coast loop.
He also wanted to revitalize the port in Fall River and have the state move the import/export seaport there. He wanted to move away from the Boston being the center of the universe model that exists and start servicing the rest of the state and region.
