In contrast to the Orange Line and the Southwest Corridor Park, which draw people to the area and do not function as a barrier to the flow of people, all three commuter rails in the Heart of the City function as barriers to the flow of people.
Sections of Mattapan, Dorchester, and Roxbury that lie along the Fairmount Line are neither served by the commuter rail nor rapid transit rail.
The Fairmount line currently has the lowest ridership in the system, but once the project is completed ridership is expected to jump from 2,800 per day to 7,300 per day.

 Fairmount Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The line was built as an entrance to Boston for the Norfolk County Railroad and its successors, which originally had to rely on a connection via the Boston and Providence Railroad from Dedham.
The line was operationally split at Readville, the crossing of the Boston and Providence (also leased by the NYNHandH), with many trains using the Midland from the southwest switching to the BandP, and some on the BandP from the south switching to the Midland.
The MBTA bought the line (since merged into Penn Central) in 1976 (the part south of Readville was bought in 1973 as part of the Franklin Line) and modernized it for use as a bypass while the old BandP was closed for sinking as part of the Southwest Corridor project.
