support for the North/South Rail Link

Someone apparently stuck this sticker on this commuter rail cab car to express their support for the idea of the North/South Rail Link, a proposed rail line for MBCR and Amtrak that would connect North Station and South Station. The North/South Rail Link is a controversial idea because of its predicted expense and the disruption its construction would cause to downtown Boston. However no other major city has parts of its rail system separated like Boston has with the north side and south side, and the rail link would not only make local north/south travel easier (like what I did yesterday Mansfield to Lowell) but would permit long-distance Amtrak travelers to go all the way along the east coast from Florida to Maine.
