Two Stations in Cambridge Subway Debate
John F. Crocker, president of the Cambridge Rapid Transit Association, argues for as few subway stops as possible between Harvard Square and Park Street to preserve rapid transit. He cites a seven minute trip with two stations and warns five stations would lengthen travel to about ten to twelve minutes, benefiting surface car service for the majority while reducing options for others. He opposes a Kendall Square station, noting it would serve only a minority of riders.
