I live in Newton. I was at the Boston Common yesterday. We did not get 1M people or remotely close to that. More like 100K. I question the reporter’s orthogonal veracity on 1M people.
Now there were several hundred at Newton Center town center.

Right. 2022 is different, but it's the data we have to work with.

Here we go: "remedial" math at Harvard = Math MA5 (An In-Depth Introduction to Functions and Calculus I).
It's only remedial by Harvard standards (one of five US schools where potential Fields Medalists cluster; you can probably name the others).

I think SFMTA wants Geary to go to 19th as the data shows the 28/28R are also really crowded (and Stonestown/SF State University is a fairly significant destination within SF):

Amtrak has most of the market share from DC to NYC.

MBTA, please don't do this mid effort on the Red, Orange, and Blue Lines, and think it's worth all the financial costs and disruption.
Get real platform screen doors (see below) so people don't throw their trash on the tracks causing fires, and which are necessary for automated trains.
