One interesting thing about the @MBTA bus system is how much it is set up to feed into rail. Thick lines are rail. Thin colored lines are bus routes that connect to only one rail line outside Downtown Boston. Each rail line has its set of feeder routes, like a transit watershed.

Trying to translate this 1979 Soviet map from Cyrillic to Latin.
Not knowing Cyrillic, my biggest surprise was when Самнер turned out to be the _SUMNER_ (and not the Callahan) tunnel 😅
Some other North Shore towns with fun Cyrillic names and eastern Boston also included JFF.

If you take a look at Cambridge's zoning, you might think that it's relatively progressive by most city's standards: It only limits development to single family homes on a small number of parcels, largely a historical district near Harvard. Turns out... that's not quite true.
