Impact

We have many ways our solutions will impact the community:

Positive Impact: More trains/subways will allow people to use public transportation instead of cars and private vehicles

This can cause less congestion on the roads, causing less traffic and stressful situations.
Also, this can decrease the rate of car accidents caused by texting and driving.
Some people don't have money to afford their own personal vehicles and rely on public transportation.

Negative Impact: Will creating more trains/subways cause more pollution?

If more people make the switch to public transportation, then car usage will soon reduce drastically with more people taking the T.
The MBTA will have to run more stops more frequently, which could cost a lot of money and they are already approximately 5 billion dollars in debt.
