	Blue Line (MBTA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blue Line is one of the four subway lines of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
		The line is designated "Blue" because for much of its length it uses the old Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad right-of-way along the seacoast in Revere and East Boston, and the tunnel to East Boston runs under water.
		Blue Line cars are unique among rapid transit vehicles in Boston in that they use both third rail and overhead pantograph current pickup.

	Boston.com / News / Local / MBTA weighs Blue Line extension
		The MBTA is studying alternative plans to extend the Blue Line past Revere to Lynn and possibly to Swampscott and Salem.
		MBTA planners say the study on the Blue Line extension should be completed by next spring or summer, followed by a determination of how the chosen best alternative would fare in a nationwide competition for federal transit funds.
		Capuano called the Blue Line proposal ''a great project" and said ''it should be one of the priorities, but it's impossible to talk about it in a vacuum." He has called on Governor Mitt Romney's administration to assemble all proposed transit projects, create a priority to-do list, and figure out how to pay for them.

	Folding bicycles brought on public transportation vehicles
		Bicycles that will be brought on public transportation in crowded conditions should be judged on several criteria that will determine whether the evaluated bicycles will unreasonably affect the operation of the transport vehicle or the safety and comfort of the passengers on the vehicle when the bicycle is in its transportable configuration.
		In addition, it is up to the staff of the public transportation vehicle to determine at any given moment whether a parcel brought aboard his or her vehicle is appropriate.
		Also, transportation staff should be as generous as possible for travelers bringing parcels aboard their vehicles, given the constraints of safety and the right of other passengers to travel without significant disturbance.

		In June, 1995, the first motion judge dismissed that portion of the complaint which alleged the act was violated by the MBTA's Blue Line contract with the defendant Walsh, stating as grounds that the Blue Line contract was not within the scope of the act.
		On appeal the union argues (1) that the first motion judge erred in ruling that the act did not control the Blue Line project portion of the complaint, and (2) that the second motion judge erred in finding mootness when there were potential monetary damages and when the controversy was likely to be repeated.
		Because the entire controversy is now moot, we vacate the partial judgment as to the union's Blue Line claim against the MBTA and Walsh Construction Company, Inc., and a new judgment shall enter dismissing the claim, not on the merits but because it has become moot.

Mitt Romney proceeds with a plan to eliminate suburban transit expansion in favor of urban transportation projects.
		The modified legislation would include completion of the Silver Line between Roxbury and Logan Airport, extension of the Blue Line to Lynn, and construction of an Urban Ring, a rail-and-bus service which would circle the city.
		The Silver Line is one of the biggest projects in need of funding, according to Cook, since it does not provide adequate service to the surrounding communities.
