Boston Subway Toll Debate On Through Routes And Revenue
The Anti-Tracks Association argues that turning cars to surface routes would drain subway tolls, potentially denying Boston $50,000 yearly. They claim Scollay square loop could reach 2600 cars daily, boosting through-track revenue far beyond current levels. They note congestion relief at stations via more cars and criticize the bill’s current form as shifting city income to street railways.
