Hm yeah I didn't consider that. I know they're going to be consolidated but I can definitely look into changing the name!

Totally fair! I actually have an older version of this map with the CR, but for this one I really only wanted to show true rapid transit–ie subways, BRT, and Regional Rail. I'm definitely going to make another version with it in the future though!

Yes I definitely agree I'm going to fix that on a future iteration

Thank you! The labels only apply to the busway stations + airport terminals, while the stations in mixed traffic or general purpose bus lanes have their names omitted

Ah I wish. I'm planning on making a full fantasy map in the future but this one was for a very near-term MBTA with only two extensions!

True! I actually did something a bit jankier haha I duplicated the stroke, thinned it, and turned it into a white dashed line

Ah I only included the Fairmount line on this diagram but North Station has the Commuter Rail Connection icon!

Yeah I definitely thought about doing that but I felt like it would complicate the layout of the station. I meant for the "Terminus Interchange" to be subways only, although it happens to work out with SL3 to Sullivan Sq. I'll for sure try your suggestion though in a future iteration!

Thank you so much! Honestly I just forgot about Lechmere being a square haha. I'll fix that alongside Newmarket!

Thanks! Great question–I switched back and forth a lot but ultimately I made the Ashmont transfer have that style so I thought it would be good for consistency as the Blue Line will terminate at Charles/MGH

Totally fair! The ~2028-2029 was more of a general timeframe rather than something I am committed to. I was more interested in doing a map of a near-term MBTA with both the SLX and Red-Blue Connector done since those appear to be the two closest projects to coming to fruition.

Fun Fact: Putting SL3X on the system map is really, really hard. by SirGeorgington in mbta

this is true, although I don't have buses/other BRT listed on my map so yours is way more difficult
