Does it take you to the part you wanted to go to, or just any part?

Boston wasn't bad during the day but the trains could be sparse after 6

Every time I've used them they're every few minutes. They're often enough to not bother checking timetables, you just goto the relevant platform and wait.

1) Present it to the President of the United States of America.
2) Sell it to the highest bidder.
3) Take it to pieces.
