The Silver Line-Waterfront is still not a train...it's the same style bus...it just runs in a tunnel that seems too small for the bus to actually navigate. The signals, however, may be the same as the Green Line uses.

Right. I'll tell my mother-in-law to move to the part of the silver line where it's an actual train.

Well, the brilliant thing to do would be to get on the silver line at the airport (or take it from the red line). Out that way, it's quite reliable.

Well, sure, that's why I say it's not great but it's better than nothing. Ideally, there would be a way to transfer without going outdoors or changing twice (which, by the way, isn't so fun with luggage either), but in the mean time it would be nice to have the option of walking, since it would often be faster.

Walk from Park St to Govt Ctr? I imagine a lot of airport commuters wouldn't like the idea of having to cart their luggage down Tremont St, rain or shine.
