This bill aims to improve rail service on the Fairmount commuter rail line in Massachusetts. It requires the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the commuter rail operator to ensure frequent and affordable service on the Fairmount/Indigo Line, including dedicated train-sets, enhanced peak-hour headways, and fare integration with the MBTA's subway network.
