The idea
Upgrade the silver line to actually be BRT.
Who it helps and why
The silver line is on the T map as a rapid transit route and was promised to the South End and Roxbury as "Equal or better" to the Orange Line when it was relocated. However, it has fallen behind the standard of some other bus routes in Boston. Upgrade the silver line to actually meet BRT standards.
