The new contract isn’t just about who’s in charge; it’s about transforming the whole system to focus on reliability, better service, and even greener technology. What would a more modern, electric commuter rail mean for your daily routine? Let’s talk about what you’d want to see change! #Transportation #BostonTransit #CommuterRail
