Changes at "Increase service and passenger capacity on Blue Line"

Body
- +["\"Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Blue Line trains exceeded passenger capacity at peak hours and late at night. Growth in East Boston, notably the waterfront and Economic Development Areas, will increase the need for more Blue Line capacity over time. The Suffolk Downs Redevelopment alone will increase total daily Blue Line ridership by more than 40 percent compared to 2019 levels.\n\nBlue Line cars are small, exacerbating overcrowding. Each \nOrange and Red Line car can hold 64 and 90 percent more \npeople than a Blue Line car, respectively.\"\n\n(Source: \"PLAN: East Boston,\" pg 179)"]
