1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Costs, ridership, and especially funding options are among things that

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: would need to be analyzed if the MBTA and mas

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: DOOD want to extend the Orange Line down to Rossindale Village.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: Folks here at Forest Hill Station have mixed thoughts.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: The commuters that's coming from Rossendale. They don't have to

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: wait for the buses. They could just take the train,

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: and then the train is more.

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 3: Quicker, you know, you know what I have to say.

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 4: There are a lot of buses that go to Rossendale Village,

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: Like every bus on this upper platform winds up going

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: through Rossendale.

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 5: If I could take the train all the way to

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 5: Rossendale Village, then be really easy to get home because

14
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 5: then I could just walk from there, I could wait

15
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 5: for a bus.

16
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: But it would make it, yeah, shorten it by a lot.

17
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: So last week, the Massachusetts House gave an initial approval

18
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: to a resolve to study the possibility of an extension

19
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: at Forest Hill Station. James Rojas WBZ, Boston's news radio
